If the gas cap needs replacing, the "Check Engine" light will usually come on. Tighten the cap until it clicks 4 or 5 times... if the light goes out, you're cap is good, if the light stays on, replace the cap.

Why durango stop running while driving?

This can be one of 3 things. Your air filter is completely clogged and does give enough air and this cuts the engine completely off. Second your gas filter, needs to be replaced, which is in the gas tank. Third the bank one on your first spark plug needs to be looked at. The best way is to take it to AutoZone or PepBoys and have them run a test on it. The quickest and fastest way is to change the gas cap (make sure your gas cap has to notches on it).
