The issue could be the evaporative emission vent purge valve on the vapor charcoal canister. I recommend using a sniffer that is used for butane and check for a fuel leak around the vent purge valve and see if there is a gross leak. If so, then I recommend replacing the vent purge valve on the vapor charcoal canister. If you need further assistance with your check engine light being on, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
