Specs:
2000 Dodge Dakota 4.7L SLT+ 4x4 CC
Airaid Intake/Filter
Autolite 3923 plugs
Robertshaw 180 T-stat
31000 Miles
1/2 Tank of Fuel.

Check Engine MIL comes on.
Engine Code P045

After searching a little. P045 is a leak in the evaporative system.

Seems that my gas cap was loose. Stupid me probably didn't twist it hard enough the last time I gassed up. And there probably wasn't enough pressure left at 1/2 tank of fuel with a loose gas cap.

Computer says that there is a leak. After screwing the gas cap tightly, and resetting the computer, the check engine condition is clear again.

Just wanted to share that with you guys.
