#7 of 11 Please help! Misfiring uphill by cheri6 May 08, 2009 (7:11 pm)
I spent some time reading old posts about this problem as mine is doing the exact same thing. Misfiring, bogging out/surging when going up hill and missing-loosing power moreso when van gets warmer. In reading old posts it seems that the most common problem is the dirty photo whatever under the distributor and most clean that off or change the distributor and that seems to be the remedy to this problem. Mostly from what I have read here in all the old posts. I had the fuel filter changed and that didn't do it. So my next will be the above mentioned.

Replying to: cheri6 (May 08, 2009 7:11 pm) So I got around to it today and pulled my distributor off and apart. My problem was NOT the camshaft position sensor, but the distributor shaft bearing was throwing shrapnel all around inside there causing erratic readings on the CPS. After the engine would heat up the shaft would start wiggling around due to lack of 3 or 4 balls in the bearing. That threw the timing off so bad the engine would stall. So... I replaced the distributor and problem solved. Oh, and that "un-replaceable" camshaft position sensor. I have a spare now. It comes off with 2 screws. What a racket the parts business is.

Replying to: jedft (May 09, 2009 9:17 am) Thanks for the posts here. My 1999 Villager was running so poorly and I had replaced distributor cap, spark plugs, wires, and fuel filter to no avail. Finally, as a result of this forum, I forked out the 300 bucks and BINGO, fixed. Thanks a bunch everyone!

Replying to: tank180 (Apr 09, 2009 4:33 pm) I believe you have a bad distributor. The bearing goes bad and produces brown dust whcih coats the camshaft optical sensor in the distributor. To confirm, remove the cap and rotor (1 screw) and the slotted plate. Look for brownn dust. Clean optical sensor. It will work for a short while. Get reman distributor on ebay for $200 or less.   go here for more help, files & photos   http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/villagerquest/
#11 of 11 2000 Villager front Cat problem by traveler359 Jul 09, 2009 (11:14 am)
I have a 2000 villager, that needs the front Catalytic Converter replaced. The type thats on it is one that has the manifold as part of the cat. I've looked all over online, so has the muffler shop and no one can find it. All that were finding it a front cat with a connecting pipe that ends with two holes for exhaust flow. Not the manifold cat. I don't know why there are 2 different parts like this. But has anyone else experienced this, is there a manifold part that I can add, so as to be able to use the after market parts that I am finding?   TIA trav
