CEL came on so had to plug it to my OBD2. Turns out to be bad gas cap. I get it though as my Taco is approaching 250k miles now..

The OEM Toyota fuel caps are surprisingly pricey. I considered buying a cheaper alternative from Amazon, but ended up going with OEM. After spending about $500 on various parts, I finally found the fix. The lesson, never fill the tank past the automatic click, as overfilling can cause fuel to overflow and damage other components as in my case.
