After having a new transmission installed in our '98 Voyager: the car suddenly stopped running in traffic. It will turn over once then nothing. The battery & fuses are good. The relay in the fuse block under the hood "clicks". The starter motor is less than 3yrs. old. 3.3L engine, automatic.

| I purchased a 1994 GC AWD with 96k on the odo on 12/30/2006. The job market sucks so bad in the Berkshires of Massachusetts that I am delivering pizza, although I did take home $600 last week. I have put probably 9k miles on it since I started delivering the pies, and there was a night of 2 foot deep puddles that triggered a check engine light , and I reset the Ignition fuse and it went away.I replaced the plugs with Iridium non-gappable plugs, new wires, change the oil very regularly, and am done lots of timing belts, brakes ect. It just died as I was in the middle of a pizza delivery. I attempted to restart it, and it would just barely idle. I removed the ignition fuse to reset the computer, and it started right up. It then went maybe 200 yards down the road and then died and would not start. I opened the Shrader valve on the fuel rail and there was fuel. The battery is fine as I have a digital voltage gauge. Ignition module, ECM,VSS,TPS, ?? I have a scantool but it in only good for 95 and up. I have it at a garage now and hopefully they will get it fixed but from what I have read in this forum it may not be as simple as replacing a sensor.I need it for work. Any info will be appreciated. | |

1999 Voyager; dragging cold t starts;quick immediate starts thereafterMy Voyager turns over rapidly but won't catch on cold starts.Its like i need to step on the gas when starting. It's a fuel injection so i shouldn't have to step on the gas to start it righ? I thought it was the started but it starts right on the second start. Then after that it will turn over perfectly while its warm. But if I let it sit for like an hour or so and try it again. I get slow a dragging start again like it's not getting fuel or something. Can anyone give me any advice?

3.3 l 6 cyl replaced heads up gaskets and a couple of idle sensors. now it seems to just start bucking and the speedometer goes hare wire some times stalling as soon as i get near 20 miles of driving time. sometimes i have to wait about 10 - 15 min before it starts again. right now the codes are 12 and 32 just seems it starts to act up when something gets hot and not sure what it is any ideas??? |

My 98 caravan refuses to turn over. Problems began after replacing the AC compressor. First, erratic starting-I had to turn the key a couple of times before the starter would kick in. A few weeks and momentary stalls began, lasting for about one second, but never stalling out totally. One day it just refused to turn over, period. The auto shutdown relay chatters. The starter was replaced with no change. A thorough inspection of the wiring revealed nothing remarkable. I was told the computer has nothing to do with the initial starting function, and the problem was probably the ignition switch, the neutral safety switch, etc. Without a wiring diagram I'm stuck. Any ideas on what I should look for? Thanks up front, Tom |

A couple of months ago, I started up my Voyager and it stalled when I started to put it in gear. This happened several times, and then it just stopped doing anything: clicking, turning over, nada. I had to have friends help me push it back into my parking spot (I had let it drift back a bit), and it started right away. I've had no problems since, until the same thing yesterday, except I did not have to put it in gear for the stalling to happen. It did not start up when I retried later, but today when I caught a ride out, it started right up. Any ideas? My mechanic is stumped and it not the type to just start putting things in and charging without knowing if he will fix it.
