RE: Check Engine Light

The check engine light may come on for several reasons
.
It is not necessary to worry as it may be as simple as putting the gas cap on without fully clicking it shut!. If this is the case it will go away by itself in about a week at most!

You can take your car to an auto parts store to have them run a diagnostic (Some will do this for free).

If your car is running fine, re-tighten the gas cap, give it a week or have it diagnosed if you still feel uncomfortable with it.

cheapest thing is get new gas cap, next make sure no vacuum leaks anywhere, the you may need to replace evap purge valve. these systems are junk on all cars and will make you spend lots of money.

This trouble code is Evap Purge System Performance fault. 1) Check for a loose or missing fuel cap. 2) Check for a damaged or missing fuel cap seal. Recheck for other trouble codes. This fault wont cause the stumblering problem. It turns on the MIL lamp to say there leak in the EVAP system.

Two things you want to know about the check engine light on any vehicle. One is it's an emission warning. The most common cause is a loose gas cap, make sure it clicks when you gas up. Second, is that being an emissions light, is that it'll require some test equipment to find the problem if you checked the gas cap and it's tight. You will want to do that at your friendly Dodge dealer. Why? They'll not only know what it is, it might be fixed free in the emissions warranty which has some parts that are covered longer than the vehicle's regular warranty. The shop on the corner doesn't do warranty work and they're not going to tell you if it might be covered.

I just bought a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 an it studers when go to accelerate also I have to manually shift through the gears to pick up an go but still don't go that fast only on the hi way

Has a tune up been done recently? If not may want to replace the plugs , wires,cap and ignition rotor. Also, find out if the previous owner had ever changed the fuel pump. The fuel filter is located on the the fuel pump assembly and can become clogged to create a lean fuel condition and make the engine sluggish.

Check engine light on in 04 dodge 1500

the computer in your dodge truck has picked up 1 or more trouble codes in the system, you will have to hook up a code testing retrieving tool to the aldl [ assembly line diagnostic link ] , normally located under the instrument panel on the left side in your truck close to the steering wheel, and retreive the codes and verify them by the booklet that came with the tester, if you don't have a tester, then go to your closest auto part store and explain to them about your engine light being on, they will hook the tester up for free, and tell you what the computer has picked up, good luck, and hope that this information was helpful to you.

My 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup is very sluggish at shifting gears, especially in this cold weather. Had it checked when the check engine light came on for Cat. Converter issues and was told the speed sensor...

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

Sluggish runs are caused by a worn out torque converter. I strongly suggest that you have it replaced, after the replacement a smooth drive and shifting will be noticeable.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Dodge Ram pick-up. Orange check engine symbol comes on. Went off for a while and now is back on. What are the potential problems?

When the chk. engine comes on and goes out and then comes on again means a sensor is not working or is working intermittedly, the only way to get an idea what it is, is to have it scaned.
