98 caravan SE 88000 original miles.

Over the past several mounths this car just simply stalls out. some times it it will restart on it's our and other times you have come to a complete stop and put it in park to restart it has never failed to restart. I have spent a lot of money at local shops only to have them tell me they can find nothing wrong. I would like to get some advice as to some direction I could take as to a possable remeady.

Thanks J R mac D

My guess is that you have something floating around in your tank or fuel system that blocks fuel on and off.

Having the same problem with an 07 Caravan. The shop says they have exhausted all their options (computer, wiring, and thermostat). Sometimes it will run really rough and then stall, especially in the morning

hi

the reason why the car stalls could be due to two reasons:

1) fuel filter clogged.

2) fuel pump is not working properly, replace it.

thanks

My 2001 dodge caravan had a small problem of would not come out of gear. it would stay in low so I read the book and it said to turn the car off and it would reset itself it did. The problem has escalated to the car is cutting out and the speedo is jumping all over the place and does not work when I drive. The van also has the square that indicates what gear you are in they are all lighting up not just the gear you are in.

i can tell you it is not the fuel pump or filter, my 99 se is doing the same exact thing and i changed both. I am down to the IAC valve and I am going to change the pvc valve as well.

For the person that is haveing the shifting problem i would check the VSS sensor. (vehicle speed sensor)

I have a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan with major issues! I need help! My car stalls at stoplights especially in the heat. It drives extremely rough, especially when running the AC. Also, my entire dash is not working. No spedometer, gas gauge, turn signals etc. They have replaced some very expensive parts with no success. Any suggestions?

I have the stalling problem after fueling on an 04 Caravan. Research indicates that it is because the liquid fuel is getting into the vapor recovery system and when the system trys to purge it pushes the raw fuel into the fuel injectors along with the normal amount. I am taking it to a mechanic to have that checked on friday.

As per the frequent stalling problem:

I have a 2005 Grand Caravan,

I have had the same problem with the continuous stalling at lights and while driving.

It happened intermittantly and the garages found nothing wrong, not even a check engine light.

I changed the fuel pump and other parts and no change.

I investigated again and found it to be a "fuel pump relay" located in the fuse box. You may want to give that a try, they are pretty cheap compared to a mechanic.

To those of you experiencing erratic speedos, guages that dont work , etc. there is a broken solder connection on yout guage cluster. its not real hard to remove ( about an hour or less) remove the cardboard & curcuit board from the assembly. The brkone connection will usually be behinf the main plug. it will be fairly obvious. I have fixed several of these after some people have paid the stealership 500 to 1000 bucks for new computers etc etc. If you have a screwdriver and a soldering iron you can accomplish this repair.

the pick up coil under the distributor cap is what causes that

miknjan is right. i just fixed mine by myself. its the ribbon connector from the odometer to the instrument cluster is the culprit on my case. i've checked the instrument cluster for any broken connection n its fine. but try to see if u have check engine message then diagnose it. mine has a check engine n when we diagnose it it say the pcm or instrument cluster. try to check all the connections (wiring) before going to pcm. new pcm will cost you around 200 bucks while instrument cluster probably around 24 to 100 to ebaymotor (salvage parts depend on what year model)its easy to fix this you only need a screwdriver to do this. if you have more question email me be glad to help
