Dodge Stratus engine light help
Is this a simple question?
2002 Dodge Stratus 2.7 L 24 valve...Wifes car....
Engine light came on. I went to Checker Auto and they pulled a code of PO455 which they said had to do with the fuel system evap something or another. Most likely a gas cap.
Sure enough the gas cap was not tightened. I tightened it, but the engine light is not shutting off. Will it eventually shut off? Or could something else be wrong because of the cap being loose?
She has no idea how the cap came loose like that. It'* been a while since she fueled up.
BTW I changed the air filter (Fram was all they had....Don't shoot me) and it was $17.99..."Holy cheap air filter Batman!"

Go back up there and have them reset the light to turn it off, or remove the negative battery cable attached to the shock tower. But note if you remove the battery cable, you will lose your time and radio presets.

EDIT: What is the shock tower you refer to?
Lose time? I would hate to lose time....and station presets.....

excellent...I was thinking I had to go into the wheel well to remove the battery cable. I knew the remote location was there, but I was thinking the battery would still need to be disconnected from the posts on the battery for it to be considered "disconnected"
I didn't think disconnecting it from the remote location would act the same as disconnecting it from the battery......
Am I talking in circles?
