Okay, I misunderstood. The engine light came on while it was running.

At Autozone he told me that it was a fuel sensor error showing up. So, I had no choice last night but to take it to the dealer (I know, sock it to me and they will as usual)since he couldn't fix it because he thought the whole plate would have to be changed and not the individual sensors. Autozone did it for free but then of course after I told the people at Dodge what was found they still insisted on doing another diagnostic which is going to cost me $72.00 just to do that, not counting what they will have to do. I will get the codes from them afterwards and send them to you. Sorry for misunderstanding again.

 No problem. The dealer will probably pinpoint the problem for you.
