Report: Check Engine Light on Due to Binding Fuel Cap
Honda CR-V Problem
Model Years Affected: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005
Average Mileage: 80,147 mi (53,735 mi - 141,000 mi)
A binding fuel filler cap can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. Our technicians tell us this can be caused by a problem with the fuel filler neck which may require replacement.

I tighten the fuel cap down good and snug at fill up. Once I hit about half a tank the light goes on again..Take off cap, reinstall and tighten and the light goes out. It must be a pressure drop in the system causing this. Is there any place I should look to find the leak?...

Gas cap binds and will not seal causing "check engine" lite to illuminate.
Purchased a new gas cap - did not fix problem, still binding. Notified Superstition Springs Honda in Mesa, AZ of the problem - they had no recommendation for a fix. Problem still not fixed 3 years later - spraying with WD-40 or equivalent helps temporarily. Current mileage is 82,214. Honda should issue a recall for this problem.Flag ThisLike0 -
