"Evaporative emissions - large leak" ?
Any ideas? I cleared the codes and it hasn't come back in a couple days. Anything in particular that I should check out tonight?

Could have been loose fuel filler cap. Your car builds a pressure in fuel system and monitors that pressure. If it drops then gives the alarm to indicate that you have somewhere a leak.
If it has gone away and stayed away after clearance then you do not have a problem.

Thanks Chris! The light a couple days after I cleared it.
I checked the gas cap and lo and behold it wasn't there at all! oops! Picked a new one up at the dealer for $9 and I'm good to go.
Thanks again
