I replaced the thermostat when it stuck open and had a code that the engine did not heat up enough. I reconnected the battery and drove the car 100+ miles. When I went down to get it smogged it failed because it shower not complete on two codes. How far do you have to drive this thing to reset the code?
Thermostat Stuck Open--you put it in a pot on the stove to
confirm that?
You replaced it & did not do the testing & look at data, to confirm
that was the problem & is it heating up now to 205 to 213 hot?
No driven miles at all
No problems --you won't have the check engine (MIL Lamp)
on--- when ALL Monitors run
YOU NEVER go to inspection--- until you drive with a professional
scan tool--- on the vehicle, to make sure all 8 Emission Monitors
have run -------OR YOU WILL FAIL-------
The vehicle needs some diagnostic work,checking, road testing,
component testing, whatever is needed
There obviously are problems, yet to be found & corrected
BEFORE you should even be using it

change the crankshaft positon sensor in the rear of the engine above the oilfilter. Also check the wiring to this sensor, they have a problem shorting out. You have to change the camshaft and crankshaft sensors at the same time. Make sure you give your car a major tune up. Did you check yor starter?.........runjoe

there is a tsb on that in the dealerships i belive there is a flsh for the computer to fix this problem i have been a mechanic at a chrysler dealership for 9 years now and that is a pretty common problem
SOURCE: check engine light on and code po108
PO108 (map circuit high input) MAP is manifold absolute pressure... a sensor normally mounted on the intake. your code is suggesting a problem with this sensor, or its circuitry.
SOURCE: Engine light codes P0551 and P1684
CODE PO551 -POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH CIRCUIT FAILURE. CODE P1684 - BATTERY HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED.
SOURCE: "Check Engine light"
The issue is that the system randomly checks the loop of the fuel system to confirm that it has no leaks. A missing cap is the easy one to correct. It might also be a slpit in the rubber hose that connects the fuel fill tube (on the chassis) to the one on the tank, or any other hose in the the entire fuel delivery/ fume recovery sysrtem. The solenoid that allows the engine's vacuum to be used to conduct this test can also be sticking so that after the test cycle, it doesn't reclose. Good luck
