You're the best, Scotty
2 questions, my car, the Mazda, I bought it new in 2010, 156K miles.
(1) The last 15 months, the SES (Service Engine Soon) light has been on. The code said a minor evap leak. AutoZone said Gas Cap. Replaced the cap months ago. What I noticed is that the splash shield broke off, I have no CLUE how that happened, it's the cover at the top of the fuel neck. That is what is causing the SES code. What should I do about it? Replacing the gas neck would be a LAST resort, that's a big job. I could just leave it, but I won't pass Ohio E-Check because the SES light is on.
I could be wrong about that splash shield not being the cause of the SES code. However, I have no fuel leaks, no issues whatsoever with the fuel.
(2) Second is just a curiosity. I have not had to replace the fuel pump, starter, alternator, or clutch yet, I baby the car. If the fuel pump goes out, on that model car, can I access it by taking out the back seat?? That would be SO much easier. This is more planning haha.
Thanks Scotty! 
- Yeah you can get the pump from the back seat. But really those evap codes are a bunch of crap the car runs fine it won't hurt anything but it could be the fill in that could be tons of things you need a dealer level scan tool and a smoke machine to figure out where that kind of a small leak comes from
