Replying to: jimhefpgh (Jul 11, 2006 8:35 pm) Go to an automotive parts store and ask them to read the codes and post it on this forum. Someone will be able to help you.

Replying to: jimhefpgh (Jul 11, 2006 8:35 pm) Reading the codes is a good idea to help determine that it is indeed the issue with the coils (individual ones too). Did you have the PCV recall performed - if not, that could cause hesitation and a CEL as well.   Elsewhere on the 'net I have read of a few owners replacing just the rear coils and not needing to do the fronts just yet. You may be lucky and only have one coil acting up, so you could try replacing one at a time as well.   -Brian
#4412 of 4469 REAR ALIGNMENT PROBLEM by dannyp3 Jul 14, 2006 (9:18 am)
FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS I HAVE HAD MY DEALER TAKE CARE OF ALL MY ALIGNMENT, THIS TIME I TOOK IT TO SEARS AND I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR THAT MY REAR ALIGNMENT WAS OUT OF WACK. SO I WENT THROUGH ALL MY PAST ALIGNMENT RECORDS, AND THIS IS WHAT I FOUND.   YEARS TOE LEFT REAR TOE RIGHT REAR DONE BY   2003 + 0.24 DEG + 0.10 DEG DEALER   2004 + 0.28 DEG + 0.10 DEG DEALER   2005 NO READING GIVEN TO ME DEALER   2006 + 0.57 DEG - 0.36 DEG SEARS              (SPECIFIC RANGE - 0.04 DEG TO + 0.32 DEG)     AS YOU CAN SEE IT HAS BEEN GOING OUT OF WACK EVERY YEAR. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED I WAS GIVEN CRAP ON THE ALIGNMENT, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT FIX IT. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN INTO ANY ACCIDENTS, OR ANY MAJOR BUMPS, OR HIT ANY CURBS. ANY ADVISE GIVEN WILL BE VERY APPRECITED.     P.S. ALSO MY THRUST ANGLE SHOWS + 0.46 DEG

#4414 of 4469 Using AC and Power Loss and rough running when wet by tcc21 Jul 15, 2006 (10:29 pm)
Been a while since posting here. I'm always afraid to see what the latest problem is with this unit! I still have my squeeky steering wheel issue and learning to accept that it's just normal.   2 things. Anyone had a period of rough running and CHECK ENG. light come on after driving in severe rainstorms? This has happened to me 3 times now. Heavy rains and all of a sudden it starts to shudder and run rough; chk. eng. light comes on. After a day of drying out all is normal again!   Has anyone noticed the sizable loss of power when using the AC on their MPV? I certainly do! Feels like it has no guts at all; need to thrust the gas just to get up to cruising speeds of 65 MPH. When I shut the AC off it seems just fine. Mine has 65K on it now. Almost reminds me of the days of having an old 4 cyl with air and how it would drag the power down. I thought those days were gone with this V6 engine!

Replying to: tcc21 (Jul 15, 2006 10:29 pm) Have you had your check engine light checked for codes on the shudder and run rough problem?   I have no power loss when using AC on my 2004 MPV.

Replying to: tcc21 (Jul 15, 2006 10:29 pm) I seem to remember a similar post on another MPV forum about problems after a rainstorm, and believe that it had something to do with a faulty seal around the coil packs (if it is 2002+ model), causing a water seepage. It had photographs etc., which showed the corrosion. Sorry, but Edmunds rules will not allow me to provide a link.

Replying to: jipster (Jul 16, 2006 2:15 pm) No I have not because the light goes off after a day and I'm not close to a dealer to do the code check....darn! I would need to be driving in the rainstorm and pull into the dealer. I think it has something to do with the coil issue...is there a service bulletin on this??   Thanks, TCC Replies to this message: user777 (Jul 18, 2006 8:18 am) tcc21 (Jul 18, 2006 8:56 pm) jipster (Jul 19, 2006 4:53 am) tcc21 (Jul 20, 2006 8:57 pm) jipster (Jul 21, 2006 5:41 am) and 3 more... dtownfb (Jul 19, 2006 12:32 pm)

Replying to: tcc21 (Jul 17, 2006 9:56 pm) isn't one of the tests using a spray bottle willed with water while the engine is idling? Replies to this message: tcc21 (Jul 18, 2006 8:56 pm)
