I keep getting a check engine light, code P-0457 EVAP sys. major leak, and gas cap light.Dan McClintock - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica - Engine - 1/13/2013I changed the gas cap and cleared the code. The check engine light comes back on around 45 miles and the gas cap light comes back on around 20 miles. I took the car to the Chrysler dealer and they seem to be having a problem figuring it out. Any one know what else ...-
2/28/2011 HPI Vorzacheck for loose vacuum lines. Check EVAP system, including canister and the fuel filler tube itself. Consider replacing the fuel filler cap and see what happens then. Is your fuel pump stock? If not, is the gasket on the fuel pump crimped?
2/28/2011 Dan McClintockEverything is orginal on the car. This is the first problem I have had with the car. I tried checking the the fuel lines and EVAP system and didn't see anything that would indicate a problem. Is there any test equipment that can be used to check the system? That is why I took it to the dealership. I figurd they would have the test equipment. But I guess not. -

It is the gas cap that is the cause. If you did not buy an original equipment cap from Chrysler parts dept and you used an afternarket brand, that may be the cause. the reason that we know the cap is the cause (or the cap is loose) is because this particular code P0457 is a new added code that only sets in the event of it failing the EVAP self test IMMEDIATELY after adding fuel to the tank (The computer saw a significant change in the fuel level) and then it saw immediately after the inability to pass the EVAP self test, and with these two factors being considered together as one event, it knows the cap is loose or began not sealing air tight right after the fueling. Replace the gas cap with an OE cap.
2/28/2011 Dan McClintockThe new gas cap I bought was from the chrysle dealer. Didn't help with the problem. When I had the car at the dealership getting it checked out they also said it wasn't the gas cap. -
2/28/2011 HouseCallAutoThen they have to do a smoke test to locate the vapor leak.
3/1/2011 Dan McClintockThanks for the info. The car just started working OK today. I didn't do anything. So I guess I'll wait and see if the check enging light and gas cap light comes back on.
4/3/2011 Dan McClintockThe car is fixed. It was a crack in one of the EVAP lines going into the top of the gas tank. I had to replace the fuel pump control module which had the cracked line on it. -

Why does 2004 Chrysler Sebring convertible have no heat?tenoonan - 2004 Chrysler Sebring - Engine - 1/13/2013The care has 70,000 miles on it. The heater core, thermostat, radiator cap, and air bleed valve have all been replaced. The system has been bled of air per chrysler procedure and the system was checked and is holding pressure. There are no leaks and the car has ...-
1/13/2013 CVOThe hot coolant flows from the engine to the heater core through the "inlet" hose. After circulating through the core, the coolant returns to the water pump through the "outlet" or "return" hose. Both the inlet and outlet return hoses should feel hot when the engine is at normal operating temperature and the heater is on.
1. If the both heater core hoses were cooled, then this vehicle might have an insufficient coolant in the cooling system.
2. If the heater core inlet hose is hot and the outlet hose is cool, the heater core might be clogged ( your vehicle has a new heater core and it's not the case ).
Note: check the radiator coolant level and top it off as needed.

Service Engine Light comes on. What should I do?Carl Dasher - 2006 Chrysler 300 - Engine - 1/10/2013Engine service light comes on. What do I do?-
1/10/2013 CVOCheck the vehicle for fault codes to see if there are any sensors were involved to the malfunction of the engine.
1.Local auto parts stores such as Autozone ( not in California) or Advance Auto parts will scan and retrieve any diagnostic trouble codes ( dtc ) stored in the powertrain control module for free of charge..
2. Amazon.com has the code reader for less than $20.00 dollars.
3.Re-post the dtc's in here " answer question " for further assistance.
Note: we need the dtc's to identify the sensor, there are a dozen different sensors to operate the car.
Visit this site and see all the different sensors.

My car keeps over heating and won't keep watercharity - 2007 Chrysler Sebring - Engine - 1/9/2013Now I smell plastic burning-
1/9/2013 CVO- Loss of coolant because of a coolant leak is probably the most common cause of engine overheating. Possible leak points include hoses, the radiator, heater core, water pump, thermostat housing, head gasket, freeze plugs, automatic transmission oil cooler, cylinder head(s) and block.
Make a careful visual inspection of the entire cooling system, and then PRESSURE TEST the cooling system and radiator cap. A pressure test will reveal internal leaks such as seepage past the head gasket as well as cracks in the head or block. A good system should hold 12 to 15 psi for 15 minutes or more with no loss in pressure. If it leaks pressure, there is an internal coolant leak (most likely a bad head gasket but possibly also a cracked cylinder or engine block).
It is important to pressure test the radiator cap, too, because a weak cap (or one with too low a pressure rating ).
