Default CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

We have a 2004 grand caravan 3.3 with 52000 on it, the engine light came on and we took it to autozone where they said it coded as a emissions system malfunction. we where told to try a new gas cap, we did but it came back on. it doesnt run any different when the light comes on. when i reset it it goes about 4 or 5 days before it comes back on. any suggestions what to check?

Depends on the code reading. If the code reading is p0440/0441, perhaps it is the evap pump either near the canister or firewall. If the reading points to an o2 sensor, change it... If you are not sure, take it to the dealer and have it diagnost. It is better to spend the money to find out the exact cause than trying to replace parts that are not really relevant to the problem...
