In my area Advance Auto does do free code scanning, just an FYI.  It is most likely something simple.  It's even possible your gas cap was not tightly sealed.  Have a garage check this out.

thanks for your reply.  my gas cap is a little "giggy" even when it is  on correctly. a prior post told me about Auto Zone which is about seven miles away.  I do have an Advanced Auto right down the street. I will try it first and see if they offer the free service.
