This past Monday my engine light came on in my 07 charger sxt 3.5 v6. Went to AutoZone and had them check the code, said "emissions leak". My gas cap warning has dinged twice, cap was fine. Today the light goes out and a few hours later while stopped in traffic, the car starts to stutter and wanted to lurch forward. Had no choice but to drive her home, about 30 miles. Seemed to run fine for that. Also been having random starting issues, have to hold the key over 5-10sec. for it to turn over.

 

Does this happen after fill up? or do you have any problems with filling up gas? problem could be the Purge solenoid is stuck/leaking, or a bad gas tank that allows fuel vapor to flood the engine with fuel, causing rough idle and hard start.


You might consider getting it professionally diagnosed, there is too many things that can be wrong for the info you provided.

 

I have had issues with gas pumps kicking off after just a few gallons, but that only happens at one gas station. I put a new air filter in Friday and a bottle of injector cleaner and she's driven fine over the weekend. If I have any repeats, I'll have her in the shop. These newer cars are all plastic and wires under the hood, it's like alien technology to me, lol. Thanks for the reply, I'll keep the page updated.
