misfire by kkollwitz

How'd you isolate the problem to the #1 wire/ plug? I'm getting out of my limited experience now, but when I had a bad wire on a Mustang years ago, the problem wasn't intermittent, but continual until I replaced the wire. I've had a 99 Venture & now a 2002 Montana, but neither one had/ has your problem.
But one thing's for sure, it's easy & cheap to replace a plug wire.
Before that I had a Honda which used to foul one sparkplug. Anytime the engine'd start to miss, I'd pull & clean the plug & all would be well again.

When I purchased my 2000 montana used I got the dealership to print the report of work done when under warranty... strangely enough on the report it showed they replaced the #1 plug... coincidence... not sure. Just fyi.

Yup I replaced the plug and the wire on #1, that did the trick, as for the OBD2 it was a short in a crimped wire, so I repaired that. Then got a reading that said Misfire #1.
 
Why only plug one ? I don't know, maybe she is getting ready to blow coolant ?
 
Now I need to figure out why I have no driver information Display. Wonder if it has to do with the aftermarket stereo. ?

What do you mean by no driver information Display?

Hello, I just purchased a 98 Trans Sport Montana, was told up front that the electric door does not work. I do my own repairs as much as possible. Where do I start with this issue.
Thanks Dean

You can try cleaning the metal contact part where the door closes but I found that not to be the fix all and continued having issues with the slider in my van not functioning as it should. (I just shut it off and kept it that way) I have a 1998 Pontiac Transport. You might want to call the appropriate dealership in your area, There was a recall on this issue so my guess is that you should be able to get the repair at no cost to you. I did go in for the recall and was told that they did not have the part at the time but would order it and call me but I never heard from them. Like your name by the way, Lol

1998 Transport Power window by lolak70

My passenger side power window worked fine today, and then an hour later it wouldn't work with the passenger or driver side switch. Then when we got out of the van, my husband got a bad shock when he touched the passenger door. Any ideas what would be causing this?

It may be a an electrical short...could be as simple as a loose wire.

1998 Transport transmission/axle noise by fryman
Jun 13, 2009 (12:52 pm)
Reply
I have a 1998 transport that has recently developed a noise from the drive train (transmission, axle or wheel) that sounds like a prop plane. It increases in frequency and volume as speed increases. It is not engine, can shift into nuetral and the noise will continue, winding down as the car slows.
When I lifted the front end and took off the wheels to see if I could pin point, the traction control turns on and applies brakes (without track on the wheels) so any idea of what the problem is would be helpful.
I need this car to last another two-three months so if this is something I can drive on, so much the better.
Thanks
