Default Check Engine Light Returns

I've read this is not an uncommon problem. Check engine light went on with gas tank at about 1/8 full. Filling tank and checking gas cap did nothing. Went to dealer with tank 7/8 full. They did a pressure test and couldn't find anything wrong but they did stop the light. Now light has come back on and lo and behold the tank is about 1/8 full (same tank of gas). Coincidence? Any experience with this? How can I get rid of the light without it coming back on every time I start the car. Searched codes and reset but it comes back every time I start the car even with tank full. This is totally annoying. Thanks!

Before reseting the codes the next time, write them down and post them here....

Without the codes, there's not much anyone can do :confused:

I had the same problem for about a month. I took it to the dealer 4 times and they couldn't fix it. They tried to tell me it ws caused by the Vortec intake. :bs I pulled the codes and had a grand total of 39 error codes. I took it to Frank Parra in Dallas. They kept it 5 days but they were able to fix it. The wiring harness along with some other components were damaged from battery acid. (Got a new battery too). Pull the codes and cross reference them in the tech section. Good luck.
