Re: 02 Dodge 1500 mileage
Sounds like still has some tune-up type needs. May need to eb put on a diagnosois computer to find out why it's idling rough and engine light is on. Any easy thing to try is to run a couple cans of fuel injector cleaner throug the gas tank if she has not used this type product in awhile. The problem may be worse than dirty injectors but wouldn't hurt to try for < $2 a bottle.

Pull trouble codes and fix the engine. Then you need R134A in the A/C system.
