My wife owns a 2000 Montana. The coil pack is bad and needs to be replaced. My question is, how does one get to it? I've heard that the engine needs to be rolled foward to get to the components in the back but I have never figured out how. If it wasn't for that, I would have it fixed by now. I fix airplanes for a living so I'm quite mechanically inclined. Anyone know how to "roll the engine" or is there something I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

Swing the engine mount struts aside (both left and right struts go from the engine to the front of the van). 5. Install the J41131 (I used a pipe clamp on the engine to the front frame to pull the engine forward toward the radiator). |

Replying to: blg1 (Jan 10, 2007 6:21 am) Blg1, my Montana has been in and out of the shop since we owned it. Yes, they always need something and they get alot of "Ghost codes." You know, codes that are there but aren't? If it wasn't for the cold, I'd be in my old 1970 Dodge Challenger. An engine without a computer is an easy engine to troubleshoot. Yes, I look foward to getting rid of the Montana. |

Having the followig problems, all of which happen sometimes. Sometimes when I start it the car idles fast. Sometimes if I turn it off and then on again it will idle normally, sometimes not. Sometimes when I drive I take my foot off the accelorator and the car doesn't slow down, sometimes it will even speed up. Sometimes from a stop the car hesitates and "bucks" when accelerating. Sometimes on the highway the motor will rev for just a second, then go back to normal. Most strange, twice in the past 6 months, both times at highway speeds, the gas guage has gone from full to empty in just a few minutes. I stopped the first time to see if I had a leak in my gas tank. I've had it into the shop 6 times. They cannot get it to "act up" when it's there and don't have a clue. Thanks for the help. |
