service engine soon light
2002 Dodge Stratus R/T
85,000 miles Seem after filling the gas tank the service engine soon light comes on and stays on till the tank is about half empty. The light comes on about 30 miles after refueling. The fuel cap is on as tight as it will go. This has been going on for the past 5 or 6 fuel tank refills... >G< |
