Default service engine soon...2002 eclipse spyder :(

Hey guys,

I got my 2002 eclipse spyder (112,000 miles) 'service engine soon' light on two times.[&o]

Before two weeks, I got the light on, I went to the autozone checked the code, they guys got the code '301', suggested me to change spark plugs, so, I did it, changed 4 new spark plugs, and the 'service engine soon' is off.

After two weeks, 200 miles, yesterday morning, the 'service engine soon' comes on again. I go to autozone and check the code again. but this time, they read nothing, say 'no error code'... very strange... I am pretty sure I had the gas top tighten and the car seems running good.

Any suggestions and commands should be very appreciated!

Thanks!

Clear the check engine light and see if it comes back on.

Disconnect the neg cable on the battery for like 5 min and it should reset the light.
