Few days later went for a sprited drive with the sports mode on and manual shifting (car is A/T) and after about 15-20 mins the cel came back on. I said F*** it and drove home shut it off and let it sit for a day or so. Came back light was gone and drove fine. This is the most confusing car I've ever owned
It's a leak in the evap emissions control or something related. It's lazy of the dealership to just point to a loose gas cap and send you on your way.

edit: I mean if the code they pulled points to that area, the most common cause is a loose gas cap. That doesn't mean it's the only cause. I think there's even a vacuum pump that runs from time to time when the car is shut off.

I don't think that would cause the horrible shudder that you were experiencing earlier.
