Replying to: ehrmann (May 26, 2009 5:04 am) I have a 2002 Grand Caravan and within the last month wants to stall when putting it into gear or going down the road it will jerk. Stalls at stop signs and red lights. But can't get to happen all the time. Finally took in to the Chrysler Dealership and they have no idea put it on computers and they cannot find what's wrong. They even got it to act up for them but are puzzled to what's wrong. I have 163,000 miles on it, otherwise it ran wonderful until recently. Never had any problems with it until now. Any ideas or if someone finds a fix let me know. Replies to this message: ehrmann (Jun 26, 2009 5:59 am)

I would start by disconnecting the connector from the knock sensor and see if that does the trick. If you havent replaced the fuel filter I would do that as well.

I have a 01 caravan with a 2.4 engine. Back in April, we were having problems with the van not starting until it cranked 4 or 5 times. We replace all 4 spark plugs and it started fine until 3 weeks ago. It started not cranking right away again. As the days went on the worse it got. One day it would not start at all. Figured out that there was no spark. So I replaced the ignition coil, wires, and all the plugs (again). The van started right up and ran great. I started it 4 or 5 times and it fired everytime. After it cooled alittle my wife took it to the store and when she came out it would not start again. So I checked for a spark again, everything was good there. I also checked to make sure the ignition coil connector was good and it was fine. After talking to a mechanic he mentioned replacing the cam and crank sensors. So I did! Again it started right away. After it cooled again it wont start again. When it does run, it runs great, no codes, no rough idle, no stalling. I just bought some injector cleaner tonight and put it into the gas tank. But iam running out of options. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I really dont want to replace a bunch of parts that doesn't solve the problem. Iam thinking fuel filter, injector(s), fuel pressure regulator, wiring problem...etc. I do have a 2 inch slice in my cat and have replaced both O2 sensors withing the last 3 months.

#156 of 173 Voyager stalling problems by thomasdp Jul 16, 2009 (4:59 pm)
i have a 2002 voyager and have completely ran out of answers. nobody knows what causes the stalling or can tell me how to fix it, thats how i ended up on this forum. ive replaced plugs, wires, coil pack, fuel filter, and two fuel pumps. i was getting ready to start replacing sensors like everybody else but after reading all these stories im thinking about just saving my money. any help appreciated!

Next go to the fuse box in the engine compartment, take out each fuse and relay and plug back in. If you still have the problem then go to the fuse box again and remove a few screws and flip it up side down, pull all the connectors and put back in. These wont cost you anything. Let me know how you make out. ronehrmannverizon.net

Replying to: vernalisa (Feb 07, 2009 6:12 pm) It could be a number of things, but you probably either fixed this or dumped the van by now! First, the Automatic Shutdown Relay could be faulty, which would prevent the ignition coil from energizing. Second, the powertrain control module may not be receiving proper input from the crankshaft and/or camshaft sensors and may therefore not be activating the ASD relay.

Replying to: leoman09 (Jul 05, 2009 7:09 pm) If you have not yet figured this one out, please check the fuel pressure and report back if you have any pressure in the system when this condition occurs.   I have the same problem - it occasionally fails to start, but no problems at all when it does start! I can run it for hundreds and hundreds of miles without incident, but if I shut it off all bets are off as to whether it will restart. I have found that when it does not start, there is no fuel pressure. But, it is difficult to determine what is causing this. I would think that if the pump itself was the issue, it would fail occasionally during use, not just between uses. I am leaning toward an electrical problem, but the circuitry is complicated because it is not just a relay that governs the operation of the pump. I have thus far determined that the controlling relays (fuel pump and ASD relays) are fine, so it is either further down the line or further up it. But, the fuel injectors are receiving signals as though there should be fuel pressure, so I have to conclude that it is most likely an issue closer to the fuel pump.   I am checking this tonight; if there is no power to the wires at the pump connector, I am going to bypass the normal circuitry and just wire a relay directly to the ignition wires so that the pump operates when the ignition is 'on.'

Replying to: xwesx (Aug 10, 2009 11:48 am) Fixed the problem - it was, indeed, the fuel pump. After that, I could not use my OBD-II reader, as it would not link to the vehicle. I figured that one out, too - a bad fuse (figures!). Anyway, the van runs like a top again, save for the console lights blinking (but does not affect the operation of the buttons). I know I read somewhere about how to get those things to stop doing that, but I cannot remember where. I suspect an owner's manual would state the procedure, but I do not have one.   213,000 miles and counting.... Replies to this message: xwesx (Aug 27, 2009 1:53 pm) xwesx (Aug 27, 2009 2:30 pm)
