06 Mustang GT threw a check engin elight at 41k miles.

Today I was driving my car and the check engine light randomly came on. The car is running perfectly fine other than the **** CEL anyone else have theirs come just randomly like that?

Got a tuner to read the code? Is your gas cap on tight?

did you add any mod's recently that could be triggering this? if your gas cap was loose i think the light would be on constantly, not intermittenly cause it would be a gross evap leak . it wouldnt be one of those once in a blue moon things i dont think.

I haven't done any mods recently when the light came on the first thing I did was check the gas cap and it was tight. Last monday I happened to put off brand gas in my car for the first time since I've owned it but I only put 5 dollars in cause I was at 0 till empty and that was the closest station anyone think bad gas could be the problem?
