Rhinomd11 came by our cars-n-coffee and I plugged in my reader, it was 2 of the SAI codes. I think he's doing the Techron routine right now, I suspect he'll do the roto-router routine if that doesn't fix it. Suggested he also replace the SAI check valve too. IIRC he's got a little while before his next inspection.

Happened to me early this spring. Light came on twice within a hundred miles. Engine light was reset in between occurrences. Bought a new gas cap seal for $11 from Pelican parts, never came back on again.
