Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
I should have thought of that - I had to have a new one in my car, although I think my symptoms were more the fuel smell as I don't recall the engine check light coming on.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks to all who replied to my earlier problem with the "check engine" light going on when I started my vehicle durring a warm day over winter. After going for a spin, and gasing up, the "check engine" light went away. Noticed it in my manual as a possible cause, and I must be lucky. cancelled error , and working perfect.. Thanks All for your comments. AJ.

Glad it's sorted... I should have thought of that - I had to have a new one in my car, although I think my symptoms were more the fuel smell as I don't recall the engine check light coming on.

Well blow me.... Looking at the ECU diagram they actually have a sensor in the filler neck....At least now I know where I can save some weight! Remove damn sensor and wiring
