Hello, i really apreciated forums like this, great place! is my first chance, my english is poor but i'll do my best! Plymouth Voyager 93, 3.0 L. Automatic trans. 99500 miles http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2263896  This minivan had a new rebuild ecm (3 months ago), new 02 sensor, water pump and spark plugs (5 months ago) and new map and fuel pump (6 months ago), Was running great! but yesterday at night i was driving at 45 mph very nice and smoothly and suddenly when i put the foot on gas i didn't get any response. I see the cluster panel and i got more of 1/4 tank, even now i fell as i was out of gas i pushed the pedal again but the engine doesn't accelerate otherwise i feel as it was turning off, i decided to go slowly but without brake off to have chance to go out of the lane i try to accelerate again, but this time i see that the tachometer doesn't go up so i decide to park i try to accelerate once again and it turned off and i couldn't turn it on again. i tried the shutdown relay and the fuel pump relay and both of them are working correctly. The fuel pump makes less noise that usual when i turn the key and when i left the engine,i made a bypass with both relays without any answer. i have to call a crane whose driver also abused of my pocket Today i took off the distributor's cap and celaned it. The rotor eas too scorched but i wahsed everything with water and soap and the failure seemed to be there but it wasn't. seemingly i donīt have spark from the ignition coil, how can i test it?? i got too many gas in the tank. Is there any method to proove the fuel pressure without a fuel pressure tester?? it may be the throttle position sensor? The ECM says "all it's ok", (code 55) but i'll try to restart and i'll try re-connect the canister too. I have never changed the fuel filter because i can't find the piece inside the van The best i got was a less than a second start and it turns off again, I need help i'm in desperation I don't trust in mechanicals and my poor girlfriend always have to help me to push the van when she wears a skirt. Before hand thank you   Dnaiel saul Dominguez Rosales.

I have a 98 dodge caravan i bought last week. i had it for 3 days and the check engine light went on. for what i understand it went into limp mode. i ran a scanner on it and the fault code came out as Transmission Control System malfunction. does anyone know what that means and how to fix it. now my van wont kick into 3rd or 4th gear and from what amco told me it wont allow the van to go into 3rd or 4th till the problems fixed( thanks to limp mode) can anyone help????

Since this van was new, it has done a weird thing every couple weeks, or so. All electrical functions will not operate, either from the keypad or from the interior controls. When you turn the key on, the headlights and taillights come on. I don't have the auto-off feature activated. Also the only lights on the dash are the door open and hatch open, which stay on even after the car is started. I have no speedometer or tach operation. The A/C compressor won't come on, but the fan controls all work. None of the power operated doors will work. The car drives normally. Then, I turn off the engine and wait about 5-10 minutes. I turn the key "ON" and the speedometer and tach needles go from zero to pegged and return. All instrumentation and power operated features are functional again. The check engine light is now on and will stay on for about 10 cycles of the ignition. I haven't been able to get this checked because it always seems to happen on or close to the weekends. Has anyone else been experiencing this problem. This is really annoying!!!!

The on-off indicator lights on the control assembly of my 1998 dodge caravan are flashing for about 15 minutes every time I start the engine There are four lights that flash the first two and the last two. this started when I put in a new batery. I got a pretty good spark when I connected the terminals and when I turned the key on the lights were flashing. It does not seem to effect anything on the car. I have checked all fuses. please help.

Replying to: travfam1 (May 16, 2006 1:02 pm) Put your key in the ignition, and without starting the engine follow this sequence within five seconds: ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON Look at the odometer for the code(s) and write them down. Post them here or go over to Allpar.com and do a search. |
