CEL Light after owning car <200 miles

[LOUISSSSS]

I picked up my car yesterday with 100ish miles, CEL came in and i brought it back to the dealer. mechanic saw it for a second, then it went away on its own. they scanned it and showed that the CEL was in "History" status and that i can just go and drive away. I drove home, then went out to dinner today, 10 mile trip. And on my way home CEL light came back on again. I have an appt to bring it in tomorrow morning.

i don't notice anything difference with the driving... anyone else get this crap?

Did you check the gas cap? Worth a try

The gas cap was the problem in my case... see this thread. Since then, I've pressed firmly while turning the cap until it clicks once when replacing it and I've had no problems.
