Ok new problem here, a bit of background first... I bought this truck used and found out recently that I have to replace the clutch, am going to order a south bend one in a week or so..
I was passing a car and the clutch slipped bad, the engine revved way up and the preform service light came on...
my ccv filter is gutted and exhausted down the rail. Also I had just cleaned the erg cooler and all the other parts that go along with that 2 weeks or so b4 this issue.the servo seems to be working fine etc.
The preform service light did come on twice b4 .(not sure why but it happened but it came on at the same place while driving to work) the engine was not quite up to temp and its where I had to merge into traffic giving it a good bit of throttle ...
Both those times I was able to reset the preform service.
Not this time....
any ideas? Thanks

CDR Valve maybe or did you gut that too?

Joe Cannon

I didnt gut that but ill check that tomorrow ...the cdr valve is the one built into the filter?

The perform service light is often associated with a fuel delivery/pressure problem. The easiest of all the fuel system causes is a dirty fuel filter. You might consider changing it if you haven't done so already and see if it helps.

Built into the filter cover

ok up date, checked the cdr valve it was ok, changed the fuel filter and added some injector cleaner with the fuel in the new filter. after running and doing the brake throttle dance a few times the code went away but that stupid preform service thing is still there...
I read somewhere that if you drive forward than reverse than shut of engine ...if you do this 4 times it resets some dodge's
ever hear of this?
not sure what else I can do since it's not tossing out a code anymore Thanks

turn ign. key on do not start engine then Step on the brake pedal 2 times then the gas pedal 2 times then turn key off. Perform service is reset.

I have been doing that ..I think its just being picky, I hope...The first year dodge added all this epa crap. I wish I could have found an 07 ....

Joe Cannon

OK I did get the preform service thing to go off only for it to come back on again when I was accelerating when the engine was cold..it was 16F here at the time (not sure if that had anything to do with it)
I have been doing the pedal dance for a week with no luck. No codes show when I do the key trick just goes from --------- and then says done.
any Ideas?

I think I found the problem.. when I gutted the ccv filter and vented it down the rail, I left a low spot in it and it was full of water...I bet it froze ...
<<< dummy didnt think of condensation ....
