darn check engine light

about a month ago my "check engine" light came on. ('99 SE convt. 5spd--33K) and after reading some very helpful posts here, i deduced it was caused by summer grade fuel in the tank during cold weather. (i hadn't driven the car much in sept. and oct. and i still had a tank of memorial day w/e gas in the tank in early nov.) sure enough, the light went off during a long drive on thanksgiving and all was well. last weekend (after nearly 600 miles with no "c.e." light) the light went back on as it was idling (with an open driver's door--if that matters...) during a post wash toweling session.
i'm noticing no change in performance, but i've been getting nearly consistent "tighten fuel cap" SIDs--no matter how many clicks i crank out on the the cap--almost ever since i bought the car in june.
any ideas? again, thanks in advance.
