#59 of 173 Re: car dies when put in gear [johnc21] by jdanley Sep 24, 2007 (6:58 pm)
Replying to: johnc21 (Aug 28, 2007 2:17 pm) This may be a little late to help you, but hopefully it can help someone. My van was stalling when I'd come to a stop. Thought I'd gotten bad gas. Mechanic thought so as well since the plugs smelled rancid and they had tried replacing a number of sensors. Had recently replaced the Oxygen Sensor...check engine light had been coming on. Now however, the light was not coming on and no codes were showing up in the computer according to the mechanic so they chose to replace the fuel pump, filters and scrub the tank....$700 later and the van was still dying. They replaced the oxygen sensor and it is no longer dying, but is still running a little rough.

My 1990 Voyager with a 3.3 litre motor has an intermittant starting problem. Occasionally it will not start (turns over fine), if you squirt starting fluid in the intake, it starts for as long as the fluid lasts, then dies. If you leave it for a few hours, it will then start up fine. I had it towed to a shop and they could not find a thing wrong as it would not act up there (go figure). Has anyone had this problem?

I have a 1997 dodge caravan sport.It will start but it's like someone is stealing it.It runs for a couple of sec. then shuts down. It's been in several shops and had work done and sensors put in but every couple of weeks this happens.Some times it's hours and this time it's been 5 days.help.

Replying to: marytmanning (Oct 15, 2007 2:28 pm) Have you had the fuel pump and fuel filter looked at?
#63 of 173 starting trouble by marytmanning Oct 15, 2007 (3:22 pm)
Yes, also the starting censor. New fuel and filter. It will run and start like brand new for a couple of weeks then it wont do anything but run for a couple of sec. No lights on dash show.ligts,radio,heat everything will work except the gas gage,oil light.etc. Then it shuts down. Replies to this message: jdanley (Oct 15, 2007 5:45 pm)

Replying to: marytmanning (Oct 15, 2007 3:22 pm) How about they Oxygen Sensor (check engine light would likely be on) or the Mass Airflow Sensor? Does the outside air temp or humidity make a difference? I recently had issues with my '94 Caravan and they replaced a number of things before replacing the Mass Airflow Sensor. It still isn't running smoothly, but is at least not dying everytime I brake.

Replying to: marytmanning (Oct 15, 2007 2:28 pm) It was a nice hot summer. As a result, I had no starting problems with my 1997 voyager. Now the cold damp weather is back and its a matter of time before I turn the key, and nothing happens. Or it shuts down while driving. P.O.S!!! Hey, its a great car when it runs. This is a sensor problem but the issue is in the wiring. My plan is to start at the computer and follow the wires to the crank sensor, cam sensor, and coil. Good luck if you can find a mecanic willing to do this. I hard wired these sensors and it worked (in dry weather). There must be a wiring/ground issue and it will take patience to find it.   So - my advice, since you have replaced the crank sensor, then either remove the connector and hard wire it or cram the connector full of that electrical grease and reconnect. I tried this but it didn't last.
#66 of 173 '04 Grand Caravan Stalling Issues by bteclaw Oct 25, 2007 (5:54 pm)
My '04 GC SXT 3.8L with 95K miles runs well, but idles a little rough when in gear. Now, after I fill the gas tank, the van will stall when coming to a stop right after leaving the gas station. It re-starts and runs OK until the next fill-up. Then it stall one time right after a fill-up. I'm not getting any check-engine lights or engine codes. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Replies to this message: shipo (Oct 26, 2007 8:16 am)

Replying to: bteclaw (Oct 25, 2007 5:54 pm) It sort of sounds like your Evap System is either a bit hosed up or you are over-filling your tank. After the fuel nozzle automatically shuts off, do you "milk" it a little more?   Best Regards. Shipo
#68 of 173 2007 Dodge Caravan Shit Lever-No Start by bobber2 Nov 10, 2007 (6:36 am)
Hi every one!! I jsut bought a new 2007 Dodge Caravan SXT in late Oct. I have one problem that has only happened 4 times. When you drive it and say you stop at a store, put it in park, shut the key off and pull it out, lock it up and leave it....Fine so far, but when you come back and try to start it, it will not start?? Turning the key on, the dash lights up but the "PRNDL" shows that it is in "R" reverse and off coarse it will not turn over. Moving the shift lever, you can get the it to move through R-N-D-2 only, it will not show P or L?? We can put it into Neutral at this point to start the vehicle and drive away normally and the next time you stop and start it again it's fine?? Now I know we are putting it in park because you can't pull the key out unless it is park or neutral??   Has anyone ever seen or heard of this problem? I want to take it back to the dealer, but I know they are not going to find anything wrong unless it happens right there and then!! Like I say it has only happened 4 times so far and is more that likely to happen again, but we all know that things like this don't happen when you want them to!!   Thanks for any help!! Sorry if I have posted in the wrong place!! Replies to this message: jpf (Nov 11, 2007 6:11 pm) bobber2 (Nov 12, 2007 3:52 am)
