Hello dear users and Forum mangers,

I have been facing this issue since I bought my Chevy Camaro which is turning on the engine light. I have searched the internet about the problem and discovered that I should clean the vent solenoid. I took it to a GM dealer and they cleaned it and checked it. The engine light turned off for couple of hours then turned on again. Also, I checked the gas cap whether it is tightened much or not.

Please guys, I know 80% of you have faced this problem. Could you please help me with this problem? because you know that the appearing of the engine light affect the engine's performance.

Thanks a lot

Did the GM dealer run a scan? What was the trouble code? Without that, no idea where to even start.

agree with mrchris. get a code. if the light is on, run to an auto zone and have them scan it. post up the codes it throwing and I'm sure someone can point you in the right direction

Basing from where you are located, you are in an sandy dusty area, NO?!
If so take a look at the Maf Sensor, replace your air cleaner and do not use any aftermarket CAI that requires an oil spray, and clean out your throttle body inlet.
