2012 Dodge Avenger Engine light comes on
Asked by GuruXGL5M Nov 30, 2018 at 10:07 AM about the 2012 Dodge Avenger V6 SE FWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Engine light came on before inspection and they said I needed a new gas cap so I bought a replacement gas cap and had car inspected and light was off for about a week now back on again. It's not flashing it's just on all the time.

Apparently the code they saw had to do with a faulty gas cap. And they reset it during car inspection but now after a week it's back on.
This why I ask because evap codes everyone always goes to the gas cap but it is many times a leak somewhere else. You could put some silicone paste around the rubber seal on the gas cap to ensure sealing. Give it a try. You should hear a “swoosh” when you take the cap off. Sucking sound.
Thanks. The car is not experiencing any problems. No lack of performance. And I check the fluids regularly.
You don’t notice the performance but it Isn’t good for your car. You are using too much gas when this light is on. Putting extra carbon and unburned fuel through your injectors and exhaust.

Well this is not an answer my engine light is on to I had somebody told me that it was possible that my thermostat was stuck open is that possible but the car is acting fine on heat I think
