Turned the car on and the imid said to tighten my fuel cap so I did and the light didn't turn off. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

Yes, just read through that thread.

General consensus is just take off the fuel cap, tighten it again with a few clicks, drive like normal for a few days and the message should go away. Some users said 10 miles, one even said 100 miles before the light went off but it did.

Also, they said that if you have a throttle body spacer on an R18 engine, that would cause the error. If that's the case, there is a simple fix involving trimming the plastic gasket on the TBS or something like that.

Lastly, if the error message does not go away or keeps coming on, it could be a bad evaporator canister, and a dealership would replace it.
