Honda Accord 98 Check Engine Light coming repeatedly

    I have a Honda Accord 98. Recently I have got the Check Engine Light
    on. I read the Haynes manual and tried to get the error code from the
    PCM which turned out to be "90" (using the blinking light method in the
    dashboard). I interpreted the code (from the Haynes Manual) as a leak
    near the fuel Canister. I thought that the problem occured with not
    tightening the fuel cap, so went ahead and tightened it real good.
    After a couple of days, the light went off. Again after a couple of
    more days (with me not touching the fuel cap), the light came back on
    again. So now the problem is it comes and goes from time to time with
    the same error code. Any ideas on what could be the issue ? Do you
    think that I have a faulty fuel gas Cap ? Or am I interpreting the
    error code totally wrong ?

    PS: It is Winter here and the temperature are around 50 deg
    farenheit...

    My friend's 96 does the same shit. Honda has a recall relating to this.
    Check for it.

    Sounds like you need a new gas cap.
