Question
I have an '05 Forester with 27k miles on it.  When I put the car in drive this morning the CEL light (and cruise control)lights lit up.  The engine sputtered a bit so I didn't drive it.  gas cap is tight.  any ideas?

Answer
Sorry,but nothing immediately comes to mind.Good news is that at you're mileage you are should still be under warranty.I have had a Forester melt a tail lamp socket from excessive heat, and it did illuminate the Check engine and Cruise Control light as well as the ABS light but that wouldnt explain the engine sputter.
