No you won't. The tank is not pressurized to feed the fuel to the engine.

Running with the cap loose or off will cause a CEL on any 96-on vehicles. It might take several drive cycles (EVAP system monitor has to run) for it to occur, but it will happen.

Time for a fuel pressure guage test to see if the pump is failing to provide adequate supply
