2003 Neon SXT/SRT Question (newbie)
UPDATE:
Owner called. Said the CHECK ENGINE light came on.
He took it to the dealer who diagnosed code P0441 as a faulty fuel cap.
Only other problem owner has had was O2 sensor needed to be replaced
(this was several months ago). Dealer said the O2 sensor may have faulted
if code P0441 is ignored too long.
Now, if this is just a gas cap problem, no big deal however...
If this is an Evap system problem or faulty Purge Solenoid, this
could end up being a $300+ repair.
Need your opinions soon as I'm supposed to meet the guy tommorw and close the deal.
Should I pass on this one? Low miles (33k), very nice shape, looks great but...
I don't want to start throwing money at a problem as soon as I get it home.
THANKS TO ALL!!
