gas cap
I have a 2002 Sport Trac that has check gas cap lite on. I replaced cap with new one from Ford and lite still on. Is there anything else I can check before I have to go to Ford and spend $160 for them to figure it out?

You will have to clear the code before the light will code out.

try disconnect battery to clear fault indicator, then re hook battery that might do it.

RE: gas cap
Actually, the gas cap lite is set because the system sees a failure in the evaporative emission system. The is a problem with the vapor recovery system, possibly a leak, and it is large enough that when the vehicle runs a test, it sees this large leak. Now is you have just replaced your cap, it will take two drive cylces for it to reset the light. Don't ask what a drive cylce is, but it might take you a week of driving to complete one. So, if your trying to avoid paying $160 to find out, drive it to see if the cap was the problem. I can't understand why a deal would charge you that much because a smoke test on the system should run you about $80. where I work.
