#3899 of 4276 Engine miss: by zlfanatic

Apr 27, 2006 (7:07 am)

I have a 1996 Dodge Caravan 3.0 that I can't seem to get rid of a miss at idle, my scanner says a miss at number five and multi-cylinder miss. I have changed dist. cap, rotor, coil, wires and plugs and I also sprayed my throttle body out with cleaner. After I change an item the miss goes away for a short while then comes back. I'm about at my wits end, anyone have this happen. Any help would be appreciated.

#3901 of 4276 Question on rear heat/air on 2002 GC Ex by carlh3

Apr 27, 2006 (1:39 pm)

Recently acquired a low mileage one with a brand new handicap conversion. My wife usually sits in the rear passenger seat, as it is easier for her to get in and out using the power ramp. The hot water lines are apparently right behind the panel there beside her leg and under the arm rest area, and gets quite warm, even though we have the AC running. The conversion folks assure us they do nothing in that area, and showed us one in the shop that was gutted for the conversion to start. They also checked ours to ensure that the factory insulation was in place. It is pretty sparse insulation.
 
Is anyone having a similar problem? Seems that the hot water is there all the time, regardless of whether heat is on. Has anyone done anything to overcome the problem?
 
Thanks

#3904 of 4276 Vapor lock when using air conditioner by csheward

Apr 27, 2006 (8:44 pm)

I have a 98 Dodge Grand Caravan with a 3.3L engine. Here's the problem. On hot days(90 degrees or higher)my van vapor locks when the air conditioner is on. The engine temp is normal. If I don't use the air everything is ok, no problems. But if I use the air conditioner after about an hour the engine vapor locks. It has me baffled. I live in minnesota by the way, so it's not like i'm in the mountains or anything like that. Aren't you supposed to be able to use air conditioning when it's hot out? I would appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks.

#3906 of 4276 Changing the transmission cable/coil on a 1992 Dodge Caravan by tblanton

Apr 27, 2006 (2:17 pm)

We have replaced the transmission twice in the last 6 years. Problems started this way:
First it would seem to down shift.
Secondly it would be really hard to put into park.
Thirdly, was forced (I guess) into a gear and would not start up again. We do beleive we have it in park (it will not move) but it still won't start. I have been told that I need to replace the transmission coil, linkage, cable. Not sure on how to do this.
