Charcoal canister hose replacement
Thanks again shrpshtr325. I did the manual reset and the check engine light went away. Does this mean the problem's likely fixed, or will it take a while to know for sure?
it will take a little while to be sure, if it stays off for a couple weeks id venture a guess that the issue is solved since it takes a few cold-hot-cold cycles to set off the code
any auto parts store should have them, and yes i just cut them to size myself
keep in mind that there is now a kit available w/ the correct hoses so you no longer have to build your own set. (i dont have the part # unfortunately, but i know that a couple guys on here have used them)

So SmokinJoe02 said "don't buy those kits they are garbage"
Yup... sure as hell are... mine often don't last a month.
This is the kit he is talking about
I have bought it from rock auto KOI and some other local chain... always the same "HELP!" branded Dorman **** hoses.
Someone in the comments down there on the amazon listing said
"This replaces Mopar part# 5166499AA."
Which is really handy... because google gave me this...
http://www.tascaparts.com/oe-mopar/5166499aa
And IMHO it looks right to me... so I just ordered them from that Tasca place... it says "Genuine OEM Mopar" I'm hoping I get more life out of these... my first set of hoses lasted me from 2003 to 2015... 12 YEARS... the Dorman junk I consider myself lucky to get 12 DAYS lol.
I know.. first time poster with links to buy stuff is generally scam stuff... but I was looking here for the part numbers and kept this page open for when I found them because I was not going to buy Dorman again and I figured you all would be happy to have the info when I sorted it out.
Have a good one,
Chris
