check your gas cap no joke. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving i have a 2001 dakota with the v-6 4wd. i get a check engine light every so often. i disconnect the battery and then it resets and is ok for a few weeks. i took it to the local dodge dealer and they found a p9442 code. does anybody know what this code means also it may mean a med evap leak medium evaporation leak. it only took them .2 hours to find it. anybody with more info on this tia hank .
