2017 Dodge Ram. The Fuel Cap light stays on.

Hi Verna Prior, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box? NO VIN told or engines, of 4. this is correct but if leaks too much? and you scan the OBD2 port it can be bad cap,loose bad. or bad EVAP valves. or cap is loose or was loose or worse. road debris damage caused (hits) page 265 in the glove box users guide, (lost it?) shows these words If a "gas cap" message appears, tighten the gas cap until a "clicking" sound is heard. Push the odometer reset button to turn the message off. If the message continues to appear for more than three days after tightening the gas cap, see your authorized service center." this last paragraph means the OBD2 scan port must be scanned first. to see DTC errors like these ! each one has different tests and acts to do for a cure. evap-undefined-undefined-0_1.jpg

old post 9000 miles from USA< and we have no such car here nor the 2.5 WL engine here. but your manual transmission clutch is dead. the master and slave cylinders are best replace first. saving huge costs. if they are bad and are first to fail.

No Fire at ignition coil

No spark, fire takes fuel. , no vin told there are 5 engines used on this car USA> my guess is 2.0L from 1.6 to 2.5 liters, sorry I will not do all 5 in this post ever. No VIN no joy I say we check spark at all spark plugs. not just 1. we check fuses first. why replace any ECm first it must be reprogrammed at huge cost and 99% of all returned ECM are good. we scan the OBD2 port next, not replace any PCM/BCM ever. my guess now that you did that it is a double dead engine why replace the most hard and expensive parts first. are you rich like Elon Musk? ouch. top cause of all spark coils dead are, fuses blown. 1: no engine told , cam belt bad slipped or snapped ,1.6 and 1.9L are belt drive cam. as is 1.0 and 2.0L engine compression totally fails ( a test tool gauge) 2: CKP dead. 3: CMP dead. on some cars if crash detected in the SRS computer brain the SRS commands that all spark and fuel are disabled see why not scanning any dead engine, fails.?>???? all 5 engines for USA< are you USA, no clue there. spark systems vary by engine and country . and year. proto-undefined-undefined-0.jpg also see the 2.0L engine cam belt see the big red ? do you ignore this , service ? the book for the car says belt new 105,000 miles if it slips or snaps spark ends NOW. 2l-protousa-undefined-undefined-1.jpg

2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible starting problem.....

Sounds like a poor connection. I would clean the connections at the battery terminals and check the main ground and positive connection at the starter that they are free from corrosion and are tight. Also look closely at the cables them selves, I have seen cables corrode inside the outer sheathing causing poor conductivity and high amp draw.

1992 Ford Ranger 2.3 engine. My truck stopped running while I was driving it. It's not the fuel pump, tested it. I can't get it to crank.

Will not start or crank over? Possible have an electrical issue like an ignition module or a coil if it does not run. Pull a plug wire off the spark plug and see if there is a spark to the plug. If you do not know what I mean, then find someone who has some knowledge of how it is done.

Cannot reset check engine light.

Hi Jackie Shea, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box? that is Dodge RAM,1500 SRT right? real name? the FSM book for it is named that way and I now answer.1994 , not a Dakota.? GAs no engine told.and is an engine post.hummmmmmmmmm 2.5L ,3.9, 5.2L and 8.0L tool wow. even 6 engines then. they are not the same at all,each has its own PCM. R15 means what, google zero hits means RAM 1500, I guess. so now only what engine is there remains. hard electronic failures can not be cleared the clear only means history cleared of old errors. but does not clear, hard failures some take 1 second to set and others take driving fast for 10 miles (like EGR errors do) many live errors (now) can come back in 1 second flat for example TPS unpugged, error for TPS says set because it is now dead. code 33 is forever, lacking OEM AC, that is a fact. OBD1 PCM are not smart, the tests are simple. any code seen is hard hard failure like a sensor shorted or open not connected. on the v8 fuse D is the PCm memory fuse. hot all the time is the huge clue there but not sure me what engine is there at all, just not the 5.9LDiesel Fuse 14 is PCM key on POWER V8 backfiring to tail pipe end or to the air cleaner side. this be nice to know. where it backfires. the 2.5L has only one injector ,there is huge clue 2. the 8.0L V10 does have fuse 9, (only the 8.0) fuse 9 runs the main PCM power via ASD RELAY. it does not run memory that is fuse 8 on the 8.0l. IS MEMORY DTC ERRORS. use pulling battery NEG lug clear codes too. My best guess this old of truck is 1 spark plug is wet with antifreeze. and misfires badly. I must tell you there are 50 causes of gross misfiring. on engines. for sure V10. OBD1 is no help, due to no P03xx codes seen 1996 up OBD2. codes: 23 means the IAT sensor has fallen off. wires to it open.or shorted (either) 33 means A/C clutch wire cut or open wires to it or the clutch coil is open or shorted, so turn off A/C on the dash and 33 ends for ever. cured. means no defrost mode either ! your codes posted by you does not case engine MISFIRE ever. the IAT is super fine fuel trim device. Intake AIR TEMP. (sensor) the FSM page warns us to run engine longer to see all codes DTC possible failing. this PCM will flag shorted injectors #27 spark coils bad #43 code 14 map dead code 12 battery was removed. lots of #2x code all serious the IAC on all cars love to stick for sure parked too long and it is gummed up as all are and let sit and now is JAMMED up and wants to flood starting so add 5% (at thin tad) right foot throttle cranking and it starts fast and not misfire. and keep foot there to prove more air makes it run. right.\ no ENGINE, a sad thing that. makes answers 6 times to complex. 6 engines but is 5, gas. 1 Cummins diesel(not) things not bad engine (compression test pass ) all 6 to 10 spark plug tips clean Not black tips, not oil fouled, not coolant fouled or not smashed to deathh TIP. do you have 8 to 10 injectors 2x TBI injectors.? 1: EFI failing V8, gas, Crank or cam sensor bad. 2: EFI ECT sensor reads -40F degrees. not in Alaska the engine flood badly. 3: EFI spark is failing say 1 lost rusty wire to any PCM sensors or acuators or injectors or spark coils. is the truck blowing fuses, NOT TOLD. check them all first. a 30 year old truck never seen one that old without 10 serious problems. unless mine. Try engine compression first. see if engine is ok and at the same time see spark plugs NOT FOULED. also Some OBD1 cars with IAT sensor dead puts the PCM in the limphome MODE and runs rich and fouls plugs. 1996 this was cured. turn off the AC then put back the IAT correctly near air horn to air cleaner. where it is/was on some of the 5 engines the IAT screws into the intake manifold directly to the air PLENUM there. NO ENGINE TOLD . 4: FPR bad. in TBI or MPI rails.
