whomp.
car shows P0456 which from the search button, praise the maker of that fabulous button, i found this:
"by the way this problem has no effect on drivability"
so does this mean its perfectly fine to drive my car? cuz i just started it up to take a drive down the street and right after start up it was making an unusual sound..
and...
could this have been caused by having too much oil? because i just got my oil changed and i think they put a little too much oil since the oil goes over the max line by about 4 cm..... maybe i should drain some oil.....

which creates a question:Maddog wrote:From FixYa.com...
a small evap leak is often interpreted as a loose gas cap , which it can be; it can be an electrical solenoid , switch or just a vacuum line in the system . by the way this problem has no effect on drivability , but should be fixed .

no. it's prob evap system leak small from what you posted. your gas gap probably is not tight.
PM me for your 00+ PCM SKIM/VIN flashing needs. Neon PCMs Plus
To avoid any problems I'm going with a cap from the dealer

I'll try to tighten the gas cap, but how do I reset the pcm?

Take the negative battery terminal off for 5-10minutes and it should reset the light. Not sure if the SXTs have an ASD fuse like the SRTs, but that does it too. In the engine bay fuse box there's a yellow 20 amp fuse towards the fender and it says ASD. Pull that for 1-2 minutes and that works just as well.
inspected my gas cap and it looks flawless. the o ring doesn't have even
a single crack. i took out the fuse for about 3 minutes and that didn't do
much. i left my dome light on all day today though so now i think i might
need a new battery.. uber sad face..

I've left my fogs on on the new corolla for 5 hours at a time and either it started right up or just jump it.
engine light fixed! i finally got around to it.
next im going to get some tree pins for my new trunk lid carpet and then
try to tackle more rattles. im just glad my engine light was only for the
gas cap.

Actually, I do have a set in black, and silver. Theyre both pretty scratched up though. Will be getting fresh silver paint on one of them whenever I get around to getting my R/T front painted.
Sorry guys, neither set is for sale at this time.

new pics are on the way, but there's a slight delay due to the fact
that i just got... well, i'll keep that part a secret
i can't wash my car until tomorrow, and i ain't taking picture with a
dirty ass car. but yes a few changes have been made. finally..
teaser pic:
and yes i did throw on my lip kit, but only the front and back. still
waiting on those side skirts. but while i was putting on the kit i also
did a few other things:
- finished putting push pins in my trunk lid carpet
- removed grill inserts (prepping to paint)
- removed fog lights (prepping to tint)
- replaced stock front badge with a black and red punisher badge
