Wen to get my oil changed and was told that my gas cap light was on because I have a vacuum leak. They said they ran a diagnostic test and that's how they found out. Could this be the problem?

In a word, yes.You could look at the cap, see if the gasket is good and clean, tighten it. Also look at the hoses (small ones) to see if any are cracked or have been rubbing to the point where there is now a hole.

Could be a bad oil pressure switch, or a bad oil pump. Both will cause this issue. Hope it is the switch b/c the oil pump is a costly repair.

SOURCE: solenoid b on chrysler grand voyager

One of the shift solenoids in transmission has caused a code and needs to be fixed or replaced by sounds of it. You are currently in what they call "limp mode". Take it to a dealer or tranny shop (reputable) have it scanned, and get a quote for repairs, and decide from there. Letting someone who doesn't know these transmissions play with it now, will certainly end up costing you a new or rebuilt one needing to be installed. If not taken to a dealer, and fluid & filter is changed, be sure to insist on Mopar ATF 4 transmission oil, and nothing else, should be used on it.

SOURCE: The "Check Engine" light is always on

The problem with these complex systems is they are nearly impossible to maintain.
The implication is that you have a leak in the gas tank vent.
You could try to find it by pressuring the gas tank with some compressed air, and listening around for hissing.
But it could be the purge valve vaccum sensor is bad.
The best thing to do actually is manually disable the purge valve sensor, plug the purge valve line to the manifold, and allow the vent to open air.

Gas cap indicaytor light came on. Changed cap and made sure it was tight but indicator light still comes on

The gas cap light is a generic light that indicates an emission problem. Usually a vacuum/pressure leak within the system. The gas cap is usually the first thing to check, however may not be the problem. There are numerous sensors and lines that control the vacuum/pressure/ of the fuel vapors and one of these is loose/disconnected/defective causing this light to come on. I would recommend inspecting hoses under the hood for any that may be loose/disconnected. You may also require a scan test to view sensor data to isolate the source of the light

Check engine light back on just replaced sensors on bank 1 now evaporator emission system leak detected very small how do I repair it

change your gas cap and check for vacuum leaks first. If nothing can be found, have a smoke check done.

What does it mean wen i change my fuel fillter and fuel pump and it dieds wen i let off the gas

If you do not have a vacuum leak in a hose. then check the idle air control because this is what regulates the idle and sends this info to computer. You may have to take it off to clean it or replace if bad. Good-Day!

2004 chrysler pacifica oil light will flash and ding after coming to a stop

You have two problems going on.
The oil light is telling you the engine oil pressure is low. If the oil level is full, the sending unit for the light is faulty, or you actually do have low oil pressure.
The codes are for a leak in the EVAP system which could be the gas cap but could also be a number of other things. There are valves and hoses that could leak.
The engine oil pressure would need to be checked with a mechanical gauge, and the gas tank venting system would need to be tested for leaks.

Check with a flashlight your filler pipe for any blockage. You may have to hold gas pump handle at several positions when filling.

I took my Aspen07 to the shop and they replaced the gascap with a factory gascap, cleared the codes and the gascap message is still on as well as the check engine light. Any suggestions?

the check engine light is most likely evap system large leak which is what causes the gas cap light it probably needs a nvld pump or it has a leaking evap tube under th vehicle.

How to shut off gascap light chrsler aspen check engine light goes off but because gascap light stays on check engine light returns. So how can i clear gascap light

You may have a faulty gas cap. If you are tightening the cap down securely the light will go off after the car is driven about 40 miles. I suggest installing a new gas cap which should cost about $15 at your local auto parts store. *** Please rate me on this answer.***

Engine light won't go off

you will need an OBDII diagnostic to Isolate the cause of the emissions failure,
Can be a line in the evaporative emissions system has a leak
The fuel pump gasket leaking
one of many sensors have failed
A smoke test is the only reliable way to find a evap leak
and and OBD II scan tool is the only way to find the remaining concerns,sorry
If this information is helpful please give me a good rating
Thank You,Randy
