This morning on my way to work my '01 Tahoe threw a code. It still runs perfectly fine with no indication of a problem.
Any ideas of what could have tripped it?
The only thing I have done to it recently was add some damn antifreeze!

You can buy a scan tool for about 80-150. I have one, cost my $100, tells me the trouble codes, any pending codes, and gives a description of the code. I use it all the time, good for all OBDII vehicles.
Come back with the code, and someone will be able to give you a starting point of things to check.

You're probably the recipiant of a Loose Gas Cap code! Happens alot. Get it scanned and let me know the code and I'll help you out with that.
It does pay to pick you up a cheap code reader. You could at least scan it and PM me the code, then I'd tell you what it was.
I got several scan tools but....2 out of 5 of mine cost $4000 each...lol...

I have the cap that has a lock on it so after it snaps then I lock it. It seems to freely spin so if thats it then I am tossing this cap out for a regular one.

Get you a OEM one, and that may help. But I'd really like to see what code it throws once you get it scanned.
