My second complain is the lock, it is very uncomfortable if you manually lock and unlock all doors. As mentioned earlier in fuel pump test 2 , in all of the Chrysler 2. I replaced the fuel filter and erased the codes. Gage reads full when vehicle is serviced with gas and tank is filled. Had we been in one of the other lanes during this mishap I probably would not be in any condition to file a report.
I doubt that any other member of my family would have successfully negotiated the corner since it almost felt like the steering wheel was locked and the result would have been a significant accident at the very least with the on coming traffic. Bench tested it at home and zero power. I am sorry that the last message was incomplete. Spent some more time on the van. Or worse, that now my problem was computer related, and not the pump. I tried to unscrew it with my hand but I could not.
Alright, now, which one and where to buy it in the next page. Also, there was nothing resembling the port that you recently sent to me. I am hoping that the company will take some action immediately to prevent costly lawsuits. That is what is kind of throwing me and giving me hope that it isn't the actual pump. Got the pump out, and bench tested it just to be sure that was my problem. For about 30-45 seconds, she had to keep it revving about 1200 rpm.
I looked near the ignition coil this is similar to the one in your diagram but no test port was visible. It should be more gradual. That should throw a code. I look forward to your response. I have found out from reliable sources authorized Dodge repair shops that this gas gage failure is common among the Dodge Caravan's and Grand Caravan's. Pump seems to kick off tho right away after just pumping for a few seconds. Slowly made it home but would not restart.
The fortunate part was that I am lucky that it didn't explode on me while driving. The vehicle runs for about 15 minutes and then stops. As I drive away from the fueling station, within about the first mile the car hesitates, chokes and either threatens to stall or actually stalls. With the key off, there should be power at one of the terminals. I removed the intake plenum, but can't find any port.
The vehicle was taken to a service dealer and there was a fuel pump replaced, but this did not fix the problem. My buddy spent weeks with same issue. Apparently it has something to do with the gas tank venting, and the only remedy is to replace the gas tank. There should be ground on one of the terminals. I do not want to break it.
On one occasion, it occurred while I was making a left turn across oncoming traffic; I was lucky to be able to coast out of the intersection without being broad-sided. On rare occasions, the crank position sensor can be bad and throw no code. It is smooth on the outside and has no knurling to provide a grip on it unlike the usual dust covers for Schrader valves. If it does, then you have a fuel issue that can either be the pump most likely due to no codes or some electronic issue that triggers the injectors. I have noticed several complaints regarding the autolocks on this vehicle. Next with less than 20,000 miles on the vehicle I had to replace the brakes. However, there is a Power Steering Pump Reservoir above the Ignition Coil in the minivan which is not shown in your diagram.
If she let off the gas completely, it wanted to die at idle. Daniel answered 9 months ago I'm having the same issue with our beloved 2000 Dodge Caravan, started to sputter right after we pay a toll on the highway, and would accelerate very, very slowly and eventually quit all together after I parked it in a lot. The current mileage was 69,000 and failure mileage was 50,000. The failure mileage was 75,000. Disconnect the fuel-pump harness, which is located on the back side of the fuel tank toward the rear of the vehicle.
Even would not lock with the key took it to mechanic was advised that would have to replace the computer, but by disconnecting the battery that it would reset the computer, it is only a temporary solution. If truly snapped, it would still get spark from the crank sensor, but would not get fuel since the cam sensor would see nothing. They said it would be expensive to pull the gas tank, so I have left it for now. Meanwhile, the above information may provide some food for thought. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis.
