This might help replace every rubber vacuum in the engine and at the gas tank. When
the vacuum is faulty . Go to auto parts store buy a coil of tubing one by one replace a colored dot by marker on each one you replace be generous on the size of the tube
the longer the tube the better the seal. When the rubber gets old it leaks this causes
a long list of engine problems.

vent is stuck on defrost and can not get it to change to the floor or anything else. nothing is broke on the control. it has vacuum but not a strong vacuum. is there a pump thats makes the vacuum. hoses seem to be good.

#17 of 19 Warning light by jcraver

Sep 25, 2012 (7:00 pm)

This morning a small orange engine (?) light illuminated on the dash of my 2008 4 x2 pick up - stayed on each time I started the truck throughout the day. On another forum I was told if I turned the truck on and off (without cranking the engine) three times I would get codes - I tried this, and didn't get any codes - just the 'change oil' message. Any suggestions? The truck is running fine - but I've only seen this light come on briefly when starting the truck previously - it's never stayed on.

Hello jcraver,
 
Sorry to hear you are having a concern with your Dodge truck.
 
You may want to consider having the vehicle diagnosed by your local authorized Dodge Service Department or a trusted mechanic since there are so many different systems that can cause the check engine light to come on.

my OBD reader says the #4 cylinder is misfiring. some say that after 150000 miles that the valve is not seating right.
