Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. Yes, a dirty engine air filter can contribute to various performance issues with your Dart. While it might not directly trigger the check engine light, it can affect engine performance in ways that do. A clogged air filter restricts airflow to the engine, leading to an incorrect air-fuel mixture, potentially causing misfires or increased emissions. If the car's computer detects these issues, it could result in the check engine light turning on. It's a good idea to check and replace the air filter if it's dirty. Doing this can improve engine performance and help resolve the check engine light issue.
