hi i have a 05 dodge stratus and am getting a trouble code for small evap leak. i checked all fuel lines and beleive i found the peoblem, its a quick connect that goes into the fuel rail. the quick connect is the part thats broken because it moves back and forth freely, i tried replacing the retainer clip but no good. can you tell me in detail how to replace this part?

thanks for your reply hmac300. i read up on the part and it says theres a non-servicable o-ring inside it, i figured that was the problem but i have to buy it as a whole peice. it comes as a kit with the quick connect boot (i say boot bcuz its an elbow shape) already connected to a peice of fuel line. the other end has nothing but it comes with a barbed coupler thing to fit inside it. so im guessing i have to cut the old one off? i cant find one with quick connects already on both ends of a hose? i also dont know what size line or connector i need. lol i feel stpid for asking all these questions. ive got to go to work soon so i wont be able to reply right away if you have more answers, thanks again for your help tho!

you'll have to cut the line then put a clamp on it so it won't come off a sharp knife can cut the line
