    Service engine light came on, my car doesn't want to start right off when I just fill with gas. Was told it's an evap code and no biggy. Aamaco did a smoke test and said it was a bad gas cap. They replaced it and 2 days later light came back on. So if it was no big deal i drove it as is. Well today I got the loss of power indicator and my car barely would go. It cleared when I turned it off and waited 10 seconds and turned it on. Wondering if a bad or dirty trottle body is really my problem

    The check engine light is on, the car is running great. Only issue is when I put in gas, it does not want to start. Tried removing the cap and starting without fueling, and it starts fine??
