Hey how's everyone doni'? I bought an OBD2 detec tor for my 1998 2.4L
16-vavle automatic Dodge Stratus since it has the "check engine" light
on. I plugged in the device today and obtained the code P0401. What
does that mean? Where do I have to look to fix this problem? Any help
would really be appreciated

P401 usually points to something in the Emissions circuits, EGR, low
vacuum, bad O2 Sensor, etc.

The P codes are standard. Like the Ubuntu hater said, Google will lead you
to a reolution...

Try that site, it is nice to know the codes but it would be nicer to know
what to do with those codes, nothing is ever easy.
