#304 of 379 It happened again.......1997 Chrysler T&C LXi by donnie Feb 06, 2009 (7:26 pm)
Starts for a couple secs at low rpm then dies. When it's hot out & It happens taking the gas cap off/on has always worked. Haven't found a remedy for when it's cold below 40 degrees i have tried the suggestions posted was wondering if anyone has any new suggestions.

Replying to: donnie (Feb 06, 2009 7:26 pm) okay you are probably gonna tell me im loonier than a dang fruit bat but hey what im about to tell you worked on my 1987 dodge caravan it also done the same thing that yours is doing the only difference is that mine eventually started to jerking and spitting and sputtering like crazy thought the tranny was going out at first....... but any way take and replace the egr valve, the o2 sensor and the idle engine temperature sensors this will take care of your problem if it hasn't already sent a loop or register to your computer..... on a 1997 that one is almost fully electronic everything......no big deal if it has though either get you a code reader with a resetting capability or take it to a trusted shop and pay about $75. - 150 to have it reset. let me know how it goes truckinforjesuswindstream.net

Replying to: wilanz (Jan 09, 2009 11:18 am) Great news. the lights stopped turning off now. Since they were now acting up when turning on/off, I thought it was the head light switch. I popped off the cover and could feel where it was loose and kept the cover off and can do it by hand now. It's not pretty to see the opening but it works.   I keep the cover on and when it acts up, I pull really hard on it and just do the switch manually.   The replacement part is only $50 but no rush since I can get the thing to work. I'll replace the part once I get ready to trade in or sell.   Good luck out there and be sure to check your headlight switch.

Replying to: donnie (Feb 06, 2009 7:26 pm) I have a '97 T & C with intermitant starting problems like what you describe. Engine will start, settles to an idle, maybe 2-3 sec, then dies?? Also, all dash guages are dead. Even when turn the key to ACC, lights come on but no gauge.   Checked fuses, wiggled key??? Any ideas?   Thanks Replies to this message: maxima8 (Feb 14, 2009 6:05 pm)

Replying to: awjackson (Dec 09, 2008 11:06 am) This sounds very simular to my '97 T'nC. Except it is the guages that do not come on?? Have not tried hitting the dash. Have you had any luck at finding a solution?   Thanks,

Replying to: dbarnes79 (Feb 09, 2009 2:56 pm) I have a 97 town and country doing exactly the same thing - except I didn't just have the timing belt replaced. It started last week when driving down the freeway with the cruise control on it started jerking real bad and the battery light came on. I cancelled the cruise, stopped (didn't shut off engine) and checked things under the hood but all looked in tact. I finished driving home without the cruise control. Now if I start it up all is good for a while and then intermittently the battery light comes on and stays on until you shut off engine. I have tested the alternator for charging and it is charging whether the battery light is on or off. The battery appears to be in good condition and the battery posts are clean. Ideas anyone????
