The fuel line runs from the rear of the fuel throttle body down the rear of the engine to the frame, along the frame to the fuel tank. It might have a fuel filter along the way on the frame, If so you can easily disconnect the line from the filter and blow from that point, back to the fuel tank, and forward to the rear of the throttle body. Make sure and disconnect the line from the throttle body so you don't damage the injectors or jam some trash deeper into them. Plus be careful blowing pressure into the tank, the fuel pump is in the tank and might be damaged from the air pressure. Good luck.

replace brake fluid cap or seal this is probably why you still have air in systemits an older vehicle and things like this happen you might also have a cracked resevoir yellow and discolered would indicate thatnew should be white color

start at the longest line first and bleed the air out . close off the bleed screw and move to the next longest line . To bleed the air you will need 2 people . One to pump up the brake pedal and hold it down while the 2nd person loosens the bleed screw to let out the air and to do it back up before the brake pedal is released . repeat the operation until the oil coming out has no air in it. Move on to the next bleed screw.

The maintenance required light is a reminder to have the vehicle's emissions systems checked and then be reset using Chrysler's DRBII scanner. It will not go off on its own and has nothing to do with your problem. Code 12 means that the logic module has lost it's memory power (direct battery feed). Without the memory power it cannot keep engine operating conditions or other fault codes when you turn the key off. Check battery connections and engine ground straps. Get yourself a good wiring diagram and check the connections at the computer. After you solve code 12 you might start finding other codes that will point you in the direction of the other performance issues.

Take it to Autozone and let them check it to see what code shows up. They wont clear it for you, but you can do it your self by disconnecting the negitive battery cable and reconnect it after 30 minutes.
