I have a Chrysler Pacifica 2004...
Worst car ever...
The check engine light is on for a while now, and when the guy did that dashboard testing, it said something about "emissions"....the car stinks like gas on the opposite side of where the gas hole is(the one you fill up through, don't know what you call it). Dealer wants $2500 to just tell me what's wrong...I am not willing to spend that kind of money on a car that's not even worth $500 at this point...
What could it be? and what is on the back right hand side that can produce such horrendous gas smell? I have to keep the garage door open after I park for the smell to go out...
Sounds like your gas cap may not be sealing properly. I would try a replacement first before going any farther. I think you mis understood the dealer. A diagnostic test is usually around $60 to $80.
"Emissions" something isn't near enough info for anybody to have a clue. You need to post the exact code number. Most any auto parts will read the codes for you for free. It could be bad cats, bad O2 sensors, could be a malfunctioning PCM, could be anything. Get the number(s) and post it and then you can get real info on it.

Oh yeah; We had one for a year before the Sebring Convertible came out. Anyway, you should get an obd ll Bluetooth nob. They are $20; we have one in both of our cars. If I were to guess, it would be a fuel line leak, but you should take it to a german car specialist; that was a Chrysler minivan with Mercedes parts; the worst of both worlds.

I did not know there was a code...I's go back there and see if they'll give it to me.
The gas cap was the first thing that came up in the Google search, however, the smell comes from the opposite side of the car...not the side where the gas cap is...which is why I thought it was weird.
It's a mid 2000s Chrysler product ... those were, by far, the most unreliable vehicles on the road at the time.
