On Gen III's for sure, the gas cap must be of the pressure-vacuum type.
There must be relief valves built into the cap to release fuel tank pressure
at predetermined pressures. This also applies to fuel tank vacuum. If you
buy a locking gas cap make sure you look at the application guide to
determine the proper cap. Your PCM will.

Sure can...
(1) Disconnect the NEG Battery Terminal
(2) Turn key to the START position (and hold for 15-20 seconds)
(3) Turn key OFF and reconnect battery
(4) reset stations on your radio (if you don't have a battery backup on it)
That's it. (It'll take about 50 miles for a quick "learn" and about 200
miles for a long-term "learn")
On the gas-cap problem, you sure you have the right one?
