The "service engine soon" light came up one morning. A certified friend mechanic checked it out at home with his engine analyzer/computer & found nothing wrong. He then checked out the gas cap if secure. After awhile, the light went off. I still can't believe it was the gas cap because I'm very careful about loose gas caps. Anyway, after 2 days of driving, the light came out again. Beforehand, he suggested to have the gas cap replaced if this happens again. So I changed it & have been driving around for almost 3 weeks now but the light is still there. Somebody said that it might take a couple of gas tank refills before the gas cap get "cross-threaded" or sealed tight. I already had 2 refills & the light's still there. The van's running well & am experiencing no problems whatsoever. I just want to have that light turned off.

This is the second time that I have had problems with the fuel system... and it has so little mileage on it ! I checked and could not find any recalls on this item. Can you let me know if there are any, the dealer says that don't have any.
