If the cap was loose, it would tell you so...and it would take a certain amount of minutes driven consecutively over a certain speed to resolve itself as the computer determines there is no more air leak through the evaporative emissions system. See the owners manual. Not sure what the "emission problem" warning is. Did the messages section give you addtional detail?
