My check engine light comes on sporadically, too

This is related to Mia's issue on Mon. Aug. 15, but I've replied there and haven't heard anything, so thought I'd to a new post. This happens to my 2000 9-3 (certified pre-owned) all the time: the check engine light comes on and goes off intermittently. After the first time it came on shortly after I bought it 2 years ago, I rushed right over to the dealer, and they said it was bec. I didn't tighten the gas cap past three clicks. They told me to really turn it hard and go through a whole series of clicks, which I do religiously each time I fill up. The bad thing is, it keeps happening. They've replaced the gas cap once already (a little over a year ago), but it's still happening. I'm taking it in to the dealer in a couple of days, but I know they'll say the same thing about the clicks. Thing is, I looked at the gas tank opening area (sorry, don't know technical name), and the seal looks crooked and warped. Could it actually be the rubber seal thing that's the problem and not the cap itself?
