2001 dodge dakota evap leak Sign In

I have a 2001 dodge Dakota V6 3.9L that needs a state inspection and won’t pass because of bad emissions. It has been in and out of shops fixing the same thing I took it to AutoZone and got EVAP Emissions leak. So far I’ve had 2 new gas caps put on it all new spark plugs the hose line from the engine to the air intake and the air filter replaced. Now before I go spend a ton of time and money on a fuel pump could that be the problem.

Out of all those things that you already changed and are thinking of changing, the only one that has anything at all to do with that problem is the gas cap.

The way it has to be diagnosed is the system has to be smoke tested to find the leak. It has to be done by a tech that really knows what he's doing.

HT; We ought to buy some stock in AutoZone. They sure sell a lot of unneccessary parts! EGR code, let's sell 'em a EGR valve. O2 code, let's sell 'em a sensor. Heck, let's sell 'em all four while we're at it! There ought to be a law....
