Just bought a used 2002 Z71 Avalanche with 80,000 miles 2 weeks ago. The truck is in great shape. Like the truck but am getting frustrated.
3 days after purchasing the truck the check engine light came on. Took it in and was told it was the gas cap. Drove it 2 days and again the light came on. Did not refuel during this time so the cap was still tight from the dealer resecuring it. Took it in a second time - they got the same code but replaced the "solenoid" as they said this is the second most common cause for the code. Drove 2 days without refueling and again the light came on tonight. The dealer who is Nissan/Kia is going to take it to a Chevy Dealer this week to try to track down the problem - they said Chevy would have better equipement and access to help.
What could this be? What can I do differently to get this problem diagnosed and corrected as I don't have the time to continue a wild goose chase?
