I took the car to the dealer and am reporting what they told me. I know they said they have to remove the front end to fix it. I have the purge valve but can't get the hose. The part number should be 4763767AD but I can't find it.
Engine light comes on and code reader shows small emissions leak. I take it to the dealer and they run a smoke test. Test shows the purge valve and hose need to be replaced. I got the purge valve via Rock Auto. The part number for the hose is 4763804AD. Found one on eBay and they sent the wrong...
I had the same slow response when I first bought my '02 Viper. Like GTS Dean said, new plugs and wires are a must. Made a world of difference on my Viper. High flow cats and a K&N air filter are another consideration.
When I bought my 2002 RT/10 with 11,000 miles four years ago, a deeply knowledgeable man on Vipers told me to expect to pay another five to ten thousand on maintenance issues described above by TEALLIFE. Because I had to have most of the mechanical work done by someone else. He was right...
I'd be interested to hear more about the trade-in. What did you get and how much did they allow for your Viper? Also the mileage on your Viper when you traded it.

After a short drive I have oil spotting on top of the valve cover under the MAP sensor. It's been a year now and it never gets worse than the photo shows. I've tightened the valve covers. I can't see oil leaking any other place under the hood. Any ideas where this is coming from?
Bonafide viper techs are rare. If you can't find anyone, take your Viper to a reputable Dodge dealer. I do, and they stand behind their work. Most Viper repairs are uncomplicated.

I have not used them but it might be worth contacting them.
It's more about torque than horsepower when speaking of initial takeoff. I punched the accelorator the other day and my '02 RT/10 got a little fishy when I hit second gear at full throttle. I have two-year-old Toyo R888R tires and they are very sticky. BTW, ten-year-old tires should be dumped...
"Pop off the front bumper"? Add distilled water? Wouldn't it be easier to replace a leaking fill hose? And you might want to fill the overflow with a proper mix of distilled water and coolant, or coolant in itself if you're using the premixed type.
Do what Steve-Indy said.
If you have a inspeciton mirror you can pull the grommet on the wheel well and see exactly how much fluid you have as well as the MIN and MAX levels...
To each his own, but I would have concerns about the mods and would not purchase the car. This is especially true with any engine work. But others may feel differently.
Statewide search is common for Vipers. I got lucky and found mine on eBay. Car was only 100 miles away and was exactly what i was looking for: Gen ll in my price range and the right color and low miles (11,000)
Tires will be hard as rocks and need to be replaced. All gaskets and hoses will be suspect on a car this old. That's just the basic easy stuff. Others will have more information for you.
