Thanks snap on and everyone else that has sent in a message. I called Napa Autopro which is what we have up here but they need the car and are charging $130 just for the Level I diagnostic! I did try a trick I read about which was to engage the car but not start the engine, depress the gas pedal three times (why three I don't know) and then hold the gas until the CEL goes out. I chickened out and only depressed the gas three times then started the car -- the CEL was still on. I then drove it for errands and low and behold - the CEL light went out. Yeahhh!! It stayed out until I washed the car and cleaned out the gas cap area. I then just took the gas cap off and put in on again and the light went out. But, after about the third start up the CEL is now back on. I'm going to try the magic gas pedal thing again as well as taking the gas cap off and on. As mentioned before, the car is in great conditon and the engine runs like a dream. I'm even told that the the car is burning the fuel perfectly (from the way the exhaust pipes look). Anyway, as you've guessed, I am NOT a tech, not well educated in engines -- but better than most women but am still open to suggestions. Maybe I'll just buy a new gas cap as well and try that. Thanks again guys!
