2002 XLT exp 4.0 sohc 4x4 idle issue to not starting

[taxman9]

Ok - the saga continues. It's starting and running good but the problem now is that the Fuel/Gas Cap light has come on as well as the check engine light too. We can also smell gas pretty strong inside the car when we fill it up. So my guess is that they forgot to hook up some of the emission hoses or something. Obviously I don't want to take it back to those clowns so I'd like to check myself just to see if something wasn't hooked back up or maybe one of the hoses split/broke. Where would I look - assuming it's a result of the fuel pump replacement work and the need to drop the tank?

First place to check would be to read the diagnostic codes and see if there's an EVAP code for something other than the fuel cap. You could also try replacing the fuel cap to see if that fixes things.

Fuel Cap didn't fix it. I can't pull the codes with the ignition since the odometer lights don't work. Know any fix or trick for that? I'll try and stop by an AutoZone for a reading. More to come.

The non-functional odometer is sadly a pretty common issue. I've read of it, but have not looked in to how to fix. I suspect there is a thread or two on this forum related to it, have you tried a forum search?
