That would then depend on the wire that's broke. Two of them are for the
heater circuit. If either one of those are broke you will just run rich
for the first few minutes of run time. Can't say for sure since I don't
have your years wiring diagram.

Gee, you mean the loose gas cap wasn't really causing the check engine light to

Yeah, you were right, but I thought you and Mike R. (and some other people too,
maybe even Bill ------) had decided it IS possible for a loose gas cap to cause
the check engine light to go on? So can a loose gas cap cause the check engine
light to come on or not?
