First thing to do then is get the code read for the check engine light and report back here what it is. You can get it read for free at any parts store (AutoZone, NAPA, Advance Auto etc).

I bet you have the same problem I had: The Evap purge solenoid at the rear of the car under the filler tube. This is also likely the reason you are having the parallel issue with the gas cap.

When you open your gas cap, does it suck in a lot of air? Are you having any trouble pumping gas? Those were further signs I had problems. The unit is about $40 at Advance and takes an hour or so to replace.

Clean the filler neck real good and make sure the cap is tight and has a good seal. Check all the rubber hoses for any leaks.

If you are going to try the vent solenoid, it is Gm part number 21994122.

But I would be patient and try the filler neck and verify the new cap doesn't help.

If it throws a lean cylinder code like mine did, the vent may be worth a try. Unless you want to throw $40 at it and see what happens.

Mahki,
Have you read anything I've posted?

You listed TWO codes you had. I gave you the information you needed for those two codes and would've led you to the cause instead of you randomly ripping things out of the car and replacing them...
