Look at this information and don't ever over fill the car as it can push fuel into the emissions canister and cause problems.

SOURCE: Check engine light came on. Code P1456.

Did you change the gas cap with a Honda gas cap? Tighten it at least three clicks?
Also, Honda recommends that you never top off the tank when getting gas (only go to the click-off of the pump; otherwise you can get back flow into the system that will cause the code).
Tightening or replacing the cap will not immediately cause the light to go off; it can take up to three days of driving for the light to reset.
To check if your readiness codes (emission system) are set, turn the ignition to ON (II), without starting the engine. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp will come on for 20 seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness codes are set. If it blinks 5 times, the readiness codes are not set.
You can, of course, try resetting your engine light to see if it will come back on (which it probably will). I believe the procedure is:
Turn off the engine.
Press and hold the Select/Reset knob (odometer) in the instrument panel, then turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Hold the knob for approximately ten seconds until the indicator resets.

Hope this helps you.

Gas smell

I had a similar problem with a 2000 Kia Sportage. The check engine light came on all the time. Part of the problem seemed to be the fuel cap having high pressure. Then one fine day I smelled gas fumes from the rear of the vehicle. After removing the fuel pump cover in the rear behind the seats, I found gas coming from a hose from the tank. I then (sometime later) I found a crack in another hose. The hose was from the filler neck. It caused a lack of vapor pressure and a smell. The check engine light now was off.

Check engine light gas smell

Use an OBD II testing equipment to search for trouble codes. The burning smell can be from lubricant oil or a burnt out gasket.

My check engine light is on and I smell gas. 2005 chev. Suburban

Ok, the first thing to do is to have someone check the computer for trouble codes. The light is telling you there is a problem with the engine or emission system.

Check engine light gas smell

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. The check engine light is on because ECM (Control Module) detected a fault with your car's system. ECM has self-testing capability. When the computer senses that there is a problem with some of the components it stores the correspondent trouble code(s) in its memory and lights up the "Check Engine" or "Service Engine Soon" light to tell you that there is a problem and your car needs to be looked at. You'll need to get the codes checked from a nearby dealer/mechanic. Please revert back for more help.

My check engine light came on rather abruptly and now the car isn't idling smoothly and there is a smell of oil/gas coming from the engine. Any ideas?

you need to get the codes from the pcm so it will tell you what trouble codes you are having. most auto parts stores will do this for free.

My 95 cavailer just starting having a problem. motor jolts, has loss of power climbling a hill misfires , engine doesnt die it will start right up but runs poorly also can smell a odor not sure if its gas...

I would check to make sure your spark plug wires are not coming loose from the coil packs on the back of the engine, i had the same problem with a '97 cavalier and then the check engine light started to flash meaning it had a catalyst threatening mis-fire.

also check to make sure you have the correct order, these things will run with the wires mixed up but they are gutless.

a new fuel filter might not hurt either, they are easy to change located near the back axle, one nut and a quick connect fitting.

2002 Beetle: smell of gasoline since vacuum hose was replaced

If the hose he used wasn't made to hold gas, it is going to melt. If he crimped it to make it fit and the fuel pressure is too great, it may split. You should get the factory part, if it is a shaped hose, not a straight section that can be clamped into the system. As for where the fuel may go, you need to look at the area under the hose that split to see if there are stains that still smell strong from the gas that collected on that area.

Kia Rio Check Engine Light

check the fuel line hose near the fuel regulator for wear as they tend to leak or corrode causing a gas smell inside the car. My 2000 Kia Sportage just had the same problem with the gas smell inside the car.
