They probably just want you to wait 24 hours to see if it will go away, incase it is triggered by something like a loose gas cap.

Thanks everyone.

Who else does readings besides Autozone without charging a fee?

Located the OBDII - over on the right of the steering column for any other 2002 drivers! Got an Autozone to read the code and it turns out it was...

P1456
Definition: EVAP emission control system leak detected (fuel tank system)
Probable Causes:
1) Loose fuel cap
2) Vapor canister saturated
3) Failed vent solenoid
4) Failed purge solenoid

I had the gas cap replaced about a year ago and go through the process to make sure it is tight every time. As for the other stuff, not sure. Either way, it will go to a dealer tomorrow and hopefully be covered under my extended warranty.

Oh, and while there I got some new Bosch Icon wipers for the hell of it.

I just bought some Bosch Icons too a couple weeks ago from Advance Auto. They had to special order one of them but I got it the next day.

They're a little expensive, but work beautifully. I'm very satisfied so far, but I'll have to see how long they hold up.

So I dropped my car off this morning at Heritage in Parkville. So much better than the one on York Road that many have had issues with. The guy that wrote me up (Joe) was really nice this morning and has already called to let me know what's up.

Out of the dealers control is a service thing they have that says to replace the fuel neck (that the cap gets screwed in to) and of course they don't have the part. Part should be in tomorrow and after they do that, they will be able to determine if there are any other issues. All covered under warranty as well, but no loaner car which is a PITA, but I'll deal.

Brian (O-turn) - thanks for the help yesterday and the recommendation on this dealer. Complete opposite of the jokers on York Road.
