#3438 of 4276 1992 Plymouth problem by vdubber87

Nov 30, 2005 (9:33 am)

I have a 1992 Plymouth Grand Voyager. I have some problems. When the car is idling it feels as if the engine looses power and gains it back. This goes on back and forth. The whole car is jerking so u really feel it. When you are in the low gear going high rpm you dont feel it as much because the doesnt jerk as much. If you are in a higher gear and going LOW rpm you really feel the jerking/twitching. This happens in every gear if its runing low rpms (i.e below 1600 ) or so. I THINK its the fuel injectors but cannot be sure. PLEASE give me an answer thanx.

The flexible brake line has collasped internally. You should consider the flex lines on both sides.

Update on the stuck liftgate:
 
The key works to manually unlatch the door to open it. It is the electronic part which doesn't work. From what I've found out, it's either the lock actuator or the lock control (which the actuator connects to) module causing the problem. Dealers are quoting $300 just to replace the actuator and control module.
 
Since it's easy to remove/replace, I'm going to pull the rear panel, test for voltage on the components (making sure some wiring didn't go bad) then replace the actuator/control module for $120 ordered off the net.
 
Unless someone has other ideas on this one.

#3441 of 4276 Heater is blowing smelly air by motoringmama

Dec 01, 2005 (4:26 pm)

DGC 2001. My heater is on, and within 10 minutes the warm air is beginning to smell like a wet diaper. And it doesn't seem to be going away. It was fine yesterday, but the problem just started out of the blue today. Any ideas?
Thanks.

#3442 of 4276 GAS ODOR FROM MINIVAN by cb2manor

Dec 02, 2005 (2:54 pm)

I have a 1997 Dodge Caravan Sport, and just within the last 4-6 weeks have noticed a gas odor, sometimes it's stronger than others. And it's not just after filling up, it's random...any ideas? Also, my parking brake light is coming on intermittently (usually going around a curve)...and I usually double check to make sure the brake isn't on.

When was the last time you changed the air filter under the hood and the inside cabin filter under the dashboard on the passengers side?

You might want to check your brake fluid level. If the brake light is coming on while making a turn or stopping, your brake fluid is probably low. If it is low, you might want to check your brake pads to see if they need to be replaced.
