The flap/restrictor would not cause this light to come on. It would be due the fuel cap not being installed correctly or not tight. It can also be a leak in the fuel evap system some where else purge canister ect. Most common is the fuel cap not being tight. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>TRIX02GT</b> <br /><small>Member # 2844</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,7,3,13,11,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> i checked the cap and tighntened it again and again but the cap light never turned off and then the chekc engine light came on today...bringing it to ford tomorrow mornin but i'l check the canister for a leak of some sort but haven't seen or smelled anything yet <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
