This happens all the time with my wife's 97 Hyundai Elantra.. They had a recall a year or so ago, to change the gas cap - it fixed some cars' gas tank "imploding" because of a lack of vent, but it sure didn't fix the CEL !

Almost every time she goes for gas, she comes back with a CEL because she didn't tighten the cap properly..
