I have a 05 Dodge caravan and I was wondering if its bad on the transmission to start the van and let it warm up. I have been told by a couple of different people that letting it idle in park will tear up the transmission. Thanks.
I have a 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 3.9 auto trans, 2wd. I recently replaced the plugs wires cap and rotor. It is still misfiring and I can’t seem to figure out why.
It’s possible one of the items you bought is bad or you could have a plug wire crossed on the distributor. Matthew Vaughn O’Reilly Auto Parts
I have a 2006 Dodge Dakota with a 4.7 and it has the check engine light on and when i put it on the scanner it says oxygen sensor bank 2 sensor 1. We have replaced it twice. Could there be something causing the sensor to be putting a code on?
As we’ve talked about before in this column, the oxygen sensors are "messengers" that tell the vehicle’s ECM if the fuel mixture is correct, if there are intake vacuum leaks, coolant temperature not reaching normal and other information. If the "message" isn’t within encoded ECM limits, the ECM sets a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and
I have a ’97 Dodge Neon and my speedo has a problem. When i hit a bump it works, or if it’s really warm outside and I’ve ran it for a bit, it will work.

I have a 2003 Dodge Dakota, 3.9, auto, 2wd. The check engine light is on and when I scan it it says I have a “check sum error.” The light will not stay off after resetting. Just what the heck is a check sum error and what does it have to do with my truck?
I have a ’71 Dodge Charger with the 318 engine and single points. I would like to convert to electronic ignition system. Do I need the ignition module or just the conversion kit?
The electronic conversion kit is all you will need. It should bolt in place of the points and everything else will be the same as it is now. Gerald Wheelus Edgewood Parts Plus

I have a 2003 Dodge Dakota.
I have a 2003 Dodge Dakota. When I’m backing and turning the steering wheel to the right, I hear a grinding sound. It’s quiet turning the other way. I had the noise before I changed all four brake pads. The rotors were turned and are not near minimum. What’s could be causing it?
I have a 1999 Dodge Avenger with the check engine light on. Code comes back with emissions gross leak. I changed the gas cap and reset code but came back on. I don’t see any gas leaking on the ground either. Any suggestions?

I’ve had many customers asked me if the fuel filter had to be changed when doing a tune-up on a 95-08 Dodge pickup. Is it part of the fuel pump assembly and can it be serviced?
If your Dodge pickup has a gasoline engine, you have a non-serviceable fuel filter. If problems arise with the pump the filter should be changed at that time. Jerry Ives Assistant Professor, Parts Technology Alfred State College, Wellsville Campus www.alfredstate.edu
