TOY: Re: Check engine light on '97 Tacoma 4wd ?

["Kevin A. Michael" <blkvoodoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Make sure the gas cap is tight, like three clicks tight.

This is very common for an OBD2 system. not sure if it'll help, but a
definite cheap fix.

I know it sounds stupid, but when did it come on ? right after you got gas ?
maybe ?

just a suggestion
