Hello. The gas cap will not repair the issue unless that is the problem. Depending on what code is coming up will determine what is needed. I would start by scanning the computer for codes first to see what may be going on. If the code is a small leak in the evap system then it may be caused by a solenoid that is leaking or a hose that is leaking.
