Q: How long does it take for the "Check the fuel cap" light to stop appearing after you check the fuel cap?
Yesterday, while driving home from work I realized that only hot air was being pumped into the car although my AC was "on." Then, the check the fuel cap light appeared. I pulled over and tightened the cap, but the light is still appearing. How long should I wait to see if it goes off on its own?
My car has an automatic transmission.
