When the EML light came on my MCS wouldn't rev above 2000. I think that's called limp-home mode. The light went out after 6-7 restarts and has stayed off. To verify info about the gas cap, I started the car with the cap completely off and no warning light of any kind came on. My service rep told me on the phone that it's probably the throttle controller unit. The car was also running rough and sputtering when the EML light came on.

When the "Service Engine Soon" light came on, nothing seemed to be affected. This light went out about an hour later but came back 2 weeks after the first incident so I need to take the car in, again. This make the fourth time that the car is being "serviced" and I have 2,040 miles on it
