I had written before about my problem with my check engine light being
on. The code that showed was P1456 Code is "EVAP emission control
system leak detected".

It had been to the dealer 4 times, tested each time. The first time,
they recommended a new gas cap, which I got. Then, the other times,
they "smoke tested" the thing, and they ended up saying "I don't know
what's causing this...all of our 'smoke tests' passed".

Now, all of a sudden, after being illuminated for about the past 3-4
weeks, it went off, just as mysteriously as it came on. At first I
thought the bulb had burned out, but no, when I started up the engine,
all the little dashboard lights were properly on. It wasn't that.

Some friends have suggested that the cooler weather may have had
something to do with it. I'd agree with that, except that the day it
disappeared, the outside temp was around 85F.

I'm beginning to think that the "check engine" light is like Chicken
Little shouting "The sky is falling!" (or, perhaps, the boy who cried
"wolf"), and I'll be much less likely to be overly upset at its lighting
up again.
