See if it will reset. Also, try a scanner to reset. If there are no codes, the dealer is most likely correct.

Engine Performance problem
2002 Dodge Stratus 4 cyl Automatic 62,000 miles

the code is saying that it has something to do with the gas. Gas cap is on tight. Made sure that I fueled up twice with really good Vpower gas because I thought maybe I had gotton some bad gas. Put fuel injector cleaner each fill up.

Problem: Light is still on after being reset and car sputters upon eceleration. Especially a quick eceleration. It doesn't have the power.

I could give myself a kick, but I didn't see it. The gentleman that was using the device just said that it had something to do with the gas or gas cap.

What you need to do here is get it smoked tested.

For 8 month now the light is on, my DEQ was due in May 2011, now it's September 2011! New gas cap, better gas and engine cleaner twice, new hoses, last week new charcoal filter and still, after driving 25 miles the light came back on! Help now.
What else could be wrong with it? What else to look for? Code was 442 and 456.

What's a "DEQ"?

To find small leaks in the evaporative emissions system, rent or borrow a smoke machine. That will inject white non-toxic smoke under two pounds of pressure into the system, then you can look for where the smoke comes out. Small leaks are impossible to find any other way.

It has a rough start, and now all the battery, oil, brake, and service engine light will not go off.

Check the charging system. Use an inexpensive digital voltmeter to measure battery voltage while the engine is running. It must be between 13.75 and 14.75 volts. If it is low, the system can be diagnosed by measuring the two voltages on the two small wires or terminal nuts on the back of the alternator while the engine is running.
