It's actually perfectly normal to have the light go on and off.
If the ECU doesn't see the problem for 3 consecutive trips, it will turn the light off. If the problem comes back, it will of course turn the light back on. The code will still be stored in memory regardless.

It could have been any of 20+ codes..... ALWAYS check the code before doing anything. Throwing out a fix before you have a code hurts more than it helps. QUOTE(DSToyo @ Apr 3, 2007 - 7:06 PM) [snapback]542820[/snapback] it very well might not be anything, ive had mine go on all of a sudden and then after tightening the gas cap the light all of a sudden go out. good luck with whatever it is though. As far as I know, OBDI [up to 95 in the Celicas] don't have EVAP codes. The gas cap is an EVAP code.
