also the advisor said im the 2nd Z that came there with thise problem
so for everyone just keep it in mind
tru_Asiatik,

It was me.

If the "Service Engine Soon" light is still on while driving after checking the gas cap is tight, do take your car to the dealer for them to check.
This happened with my car after only 800 miles. They traced the problem back to some leaky seal near the gas tank. They had to order the part and when they replaced it, turned out some cannister next to it was faulty as well. Again they said that part needed to be ordered, that it'll take 3,4 days.
I told them that its a waste of my time to keep coming back. So one of the Service guy suggested swapping the faulty part with one of the unsold 370Z on the lot.
No problem with the light reappearing since.
