As Justin said, same happened to me. After driving a day or two, it will go out. The initial cause really was a loose cap but once tightened, it will eventually correct itself.

You may have a pressure problem. Is the cap is good working order? Any cracks?

This happens to almost all s2000's. Mine has done it maybe 5 times since I have owned it (a little over 2 years) and I daily drive mine. Just take the gas cap back off, re-tighten it and you will be fine.
