Default 4 different check engine numbers

Well I decided last week I was going to sell my truck for ram 1500 or 2500. Well got a few offers. One guy wants to look at tomorrow and I know he was going to question the check engine light so I went to auto zone knowing that it was the purge/vent solenoid circuit. Figure I would get a print out to give to the guy well found out I have 3 other codes besides my p0443 The other ones are p1388,p0108,p0123. If im going to spend 100 or more for the tps and the map sensor im keeping the truck for awhile. Anyone got ideas what I can do without spending much money.

for the TPS/MAF errors.....they may come back immediately upon reset. I have a vacuum leak somewhere, and I got the light to stay off for all of 10 miles...just the distance I needed to get it to pass inspection.

When It was just my evap that was throwing the code I couldnt get it to go away at all. Have to try it before he looks at the truck tom.

How many miles are on it?

And do not just unplug it and "let him deal with it". That is about as low as one can get.

78,xxx and I know i only plan to do that to see if it will reset for the tps and map i know it wont go off cause ive already tried it when it came on for my evap. I was thinking it might be on from when my truck was acting up last week and i never did reset it.

If there were no problems with your truck it is worth 6. But many people do not want to buy a truck that comes with problems. I know I wouldn't buy it. But if you spend a little to fix the problems you could probably get 6 or even 65.
