Can you tell me what side of your problem with the code 31
Hi all,
On my way home from work tonight, my check engine light came on. 97 Ram 1500 5.9L gas, auto trans 2WD.
Truck seems to run the same as far as I can tell.
Codes we as follows:12-31-17-55
The truck had sat for about 5 days this week,(drove my altima, better on gas!) I started it this morning, and it started right up after sitting for 5 days, and pretty much I drove away, not a good idea as it did not seem to like that as it hesitated some. It was about 55 degrees out, so not what I call cold.
Side note,
I stopped this morning on my way to work, and put in some gas, regular 87 octane, put in about a half tank as I was nearing empty.
So, from what I can gather from the DF and other internet sites, code 17 says "Runs too hot, or too cold" "insufficent warm up time", OR "coolant temp sensor bad", so I am guessing I confused the coolant temp gauge? It takes awhile for the truck to warm up, and I just put a new 195 T-stat in 2 weeks ago.
Temp runs normal, about 200. Before the new T-stat, it ran cool, really cool, about 160-170 and never got a code. Previous owner put in a diff T-stat.
Any thoughts?
Next code is Code 31, EVAP solenoid circuit...I have no clue what this even is? Any help is appreciated!! I did check the gas cap, and I just had the truck smogged a month ago and the gas cap passed the pressure test at the smog station.
