So my 2005 Durango is has been having some issues lately. Last February I replaced the fuel pump, the pump went bad a few weeks ago, and the truck was running strange obviously due to the fact that it didn’t have good fuel pressure. Well it went into limp mode and threw 3 chassis codes, and a missfire code. So I replaced the pump with a new one and all was well. I also had a EVAP leak code as well a P0441 I believe, and when I changed the pump it appeared the filter was clogged with charcoal. So I replaced the pump and the charcoal canister, and the EVAP leak pump. Well all the codes were gone for about 24 hours, I didn’t even clear them, they went away themselves. So now when I start the car the odo says gascap, but it has a new Chrysler cap, it also has a cylinder 4 missfire code, and 3 chassis codes that have no meaning from what I can find. So I’m suspecting the computer is on its way out, the truck runs beautifully, so why would it say its missing, and the chassis codes seem strange to me, and it thinks the gas cap is off. So what do you guys think?

The p0441 is gone since i changed the evap leak pump, charcoal canister, and fuel pump. I now have a cylinder 4 miss code, 3 unknown chassis codes, and the odo lights up gas cap when i turn the car on, the cap is a new chrysler cap. The truck runs fine, but i keep getting all these different codes. It seems strange that the car thinks there is a leak and tells me the cap is off, but has no leak codes at the moment, butwhen i did have the p0441 it never said the cap was off.
September 7, 2013 at 4:25 pm #547457The p0441 can be set if the gas cap is loose or defective.
The gas cap makes the seal to the tank so the vapors run back
to the evap system.The computer sees a problem setting p0441.
which could be a simple gas cap or evap system. That hole thing
is tied together. For the p0304 try swapping coils with another
cylinder to see if the problem moves.Also how old are the plugs?
Can you post all the codes you have?September 7, 2013 at 9:57 pm #547529Post all the codes you have. Maybe we can figure out if they are related.
September 8, 2013 at 12:42 am #547555Ok maybe this will clear things up…
In February of 2012 I replaced the fuel pump.
Since June I had an EVAP leak code, P0441
-I ignored this due to the fact that I, at the time had an aftermarket gas cap.2 weeks ago the 6 month old fuel pump went bad.
-I again replaced the fuel pump, this time with an OEM unit.
-when this fuel pump went bad I had codes…
P0301, C3101, C3404, C0100, and yes, the P0441
-Truck ran just the way it should after the new pump was in.
-I suspected the missfire code, and the 3 chassis codes were due to the pump going out.
-When changing the pump I noticed the filter was clogged with charcoal.The CEL was still on with the P0441…
3 days ago…
-The charcoal canister was replaced, along with the EVAP Leak detection pump.
-CEL WENT AWAY, NO P0441yesterday…
-The CEL came back on, the codes present this time were…
-P0304, C1704, C0004, and C0100
-Also, the ODO lights up gascap when I start the car, which it has never ever done before. The gas cap is a NEW chrysler cap.This leads me to believe the computer is messed up, I have the 6600 page service manual for this truck, and I cannot find those particular chassis codes anywhere.
I just want to see what everyone`s thoughts were before I shell out the cash for a new computer.
Thanks Everyone!

this is the only code I could find.September 8, 2013 at 5:31 am #547607That`s why I’m thinking computer, it just doesn’t make any sense, there isn’t even a sensor in the right rear that I can think of, I don’t have tire pressure monitoring or anything. All I can say is that the truck runs perfect, no miss what so ever. I’m going to see if there’s any way to test the computer tomorrow.
September 8, 2013 at 3:18 pm #547659what about paying dodge an hours labor for the diagnostic.
This will confirm the computer is the problem.September 8, 2013 at 3:23 pm #547661I was thinking about doing that, however I know a former Chrysler mechanic that has his own place now, but he knows everything about my car, so I think I will give him a call tomorrow. A new computer is $200 and it comes programmed to your VIN and mileage. So it isn’t too bad, but it would be nice to confirm that’s the issue.
September 8, 2013 at 3:53 pm #547672I would like to see you confirm so you don’t spend
the coin for nothing. Give your buddy a call. 🙂
keep us posted on your progress.September 8, 2013 at 3:56 pm #547674Yes, I will call him tomorrow, and let you know what I find, thanks.
September 8, 2013 at 6:59 pm #547695Ok New information has come up.
I decided to scan the car once more today, and run a diagnostic test with my scan tool.
these are the results…

So now it has no chassis codes, but the 3 fault codes that dont have to do with the evap system dont seem to be in the service manual either. and the EGR system has failed the test, but the misfires have passed now. Now im really confused. And the EVAP Leak detection pump is new, so I dont know why it is failing now.
September 8, 2013 at 8:52 pm #547731I won’t pretend to know about Dodge trucks and their EVAP system, but Toyotas have had their issues with bad vacuum switching valves by their charcoal canisters, and the canisters becoming fuel soaked by people who keep filling up the tank when the automatic switch shuts off the pump handle (not that you have this problem). What I would inspect are all of the EVAP lines, if possible with smoke. The gas cap code leads me to believe something is leaking in the fuel filler system somewhere, perhaps the vent has a ruptured line or a bad VSV somewhere….
Just my 2 cents…

September 8, 2013 at 9:22 pm #547737Yes, that is one of the things I had suspected when I got the evap codes in June, this year Durango and some others have a recall where the inlet valve doesn’t close/open all the way when you fill it up, and it overfills, and floods the canister. Which is why I think my fuel filter had charcoal in it when I changed the pump. I did inspect all the lines on the top of the tank, and they all looked good at the time. I don’t fill this truck up all the way because if I do it will overfill and spray gas everywhere. The charcoal canister is new and I don’t want this one to get ruined. And in order to fix the bad inlet valve you have to replace the tank and filler neck which is a nice $750 in parts. It was replaced once under warranty but is faulty once again, and now that they have replaced the parts once, they won’t again, plus its out of warranty anyways.
September 8, 2013 at 9:25 pm #547739In my opinion I think your scan tool is a little flakey and maybe not 100% compatible with your truck. Even a factory scan tool will only test the pump operation and the ability to hold a vacuum it won’t tell you where the leak is.
The best way I know of to check for evap leaks is with a smoke machine. Now I know that most don’t have one in their possession but that’s the proven way to test for leaks.
