Check your gas cap first to make sure it's on tight. The rule of thumb is five to six clicks. It's a common source of check engine lights. Tightening the cap won't make the light go away instantly but if the code isn't triggered again after so many restarts it will.

i had a service engine light (300 code) on since i bought my car. i just installed new spark plugs (mine went bad at 12k miles) and started using shell gasoline...never had it since. i was using racetrack crap gas for some reason...but the shell stuff really made my car run better. i used to get 240 miles out of a tank, now i get around 300. hope that helps
