Replying to: ahasan (May 16, 2008 11:29 am) Why did your mechanic say that your fuel system needs to be serviced? Is he talking about just replacing the fuel filter or something else? Is he saying this just because of the miles? If he's talking about a fuel injector cleaning you can probably get good results yourself if you buy a bottle of a QUALITY injector cleaner at an auto parts store and add it to the fuel tank. Pay attention to the recommended ratio of gas to cleaner on the label before you just pour in an entire bottle. Replacing the EGR valve can be done by a home mechanic but it's sometimes not all that easy to do, especially if exhaust heat has made the fasteners nearly impossible to loosen. You can purchase a new EGR valve at an auto parts store but be sure you have someone lined up to do the work who is willing to crawl under the vehicle and get his/her hands dirty.

Replying to: ahasan (May 16, 2008 6:02 pm) There should be a second fuse box under the instrument panel on the driver's side. Look on the inside of the cover for anything related to the power mirrors. On the EGR valve, if you see a pic of what one looks like it shouldn't be too hard to locate under the hood. Although they are replaced from above, sometimes you have to get underneath to loosen the large tube that goes to the exhaust. That's the one that can give you fits from the exhaust heat over the years making it nearly impossible to remove. I've screwed up some of those tubes trying to wrench those things loose before. Here are some links that might help: EGR Valve Inspection EGR Valve Testing EGR Valve Replacing Replacement EGR Valve for 2001 Grand Caravan 3.3L You might be able to get by with just cleaning out any carbon and crud (for lack of a better word at 2:00 a.m.) from the EGR valve and intake manifold ports that it bolts onto. You'll see what I mean after you remove the old valve. I've used Berryman's B12 intake cleaner and wire pipe cleaners in the ports to loosen and remove deposits in the past. Also, carefully check any vacuum hoses related to the EGR for holes, damage or looseness. I would think that the mechanic would have already done this. BTW, that P0401 code is an Exhaust Gas Recirculation - Insufficient Flow fault. |

My 2001 Town & Country LXi (3.8L) has recently needed the Radiator fan replaced (broken fan blades). When I cleared the trouble code for the fan I found that there were three other codes P0003 Fuel Volume Regulator Control Circuit Low and P0200 Injector Circuit along with P3FE0 - Check service notebook. Any insight on what this means? Where to I start to diagnose the problem? I've checked the web, but haven't found anything that was more than "you have an injector problem" |

| How do I bring up the diagnostic codes for a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country doing it myself? | |
My 2001 T&C LX has the ABS light and the Brake light on. I had it scanned and the mechanic said the code was unknown to him. It had something to do with a valve issue (?). I checked the relays and all we OK. What next?
