A week ago my car started misfiring. Two weeks ago my LS had a hard time starting. It took about a minute to get it started. I was wondering WTF? Ran fine. Didn't think it was a big deal because it ran fine. It stalled once while in the Wendy's parking lot. I looked down and saw a message that said Check Gas Cap. Started right back up. Check Gas Cap message went away. Took it to the dealer thursday. Cylinder#3 coil replaced and spark plug. Today I am on a country road, stopped at a stop sign, and stalled again. I look down and the Check Gas Cap message is on again. I started the car again but it took a while to start it (approximately five seconds). Check Gas Cap message went away. I have been searching for a fix on this. There was on thread that I could find on here that did not offer anything. I searched online and found some people were hinting at a vacuum leak or a leaky injector. I also found that some people thought it was a problem with the evaporative emissions system. I have checked the gas cap thoroughly and it does not have any cracks on the rubber seal. I know there is a sensor for the gas cap. I do not think it will make the car stall though. I spent 45 minutes out in the cold rain today trying to figure this out and had no luck. I tried to get it to stall again but it didn't. Car runs great otherwise. If anyone that has had this problem, you gotta help me on this one.
