  1. 4th Generation Chrysler Minivans: 2001-2007
    Hey guys, Last night I was removing my power steering reservoir to deep clean it (can’t afford replacement right now) and I didn’t realize I was putting weight on the world’s tiniest tube and broke it. No fluid came out, I’m sure it’s an air-related thing, which is good. But I have no idea...

    I recorded this with the microphone above the the upper intake. The first ten seconds are with the engine at idle, then I revved it a few times. It is a 2007 3.8L. Thanks for any ideas on this. 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT 3.8L Engine Noise

    Hey y’all, I’m back with the car with endless problems! Late last month we had a bad MAP, bad IAC valve, and a dirty throttle body all at once. Replaced the MAP two weeks ago, and yesterday I replaced the IAC and deep cleaned the throttle body with TB/intake cleaner. We also used seafoam last...

    Hi everyone, I was just curious on people's thoughts about what happened. My wife was driving and had the CEL come on. When I got home I ran the codes and it was a fuel injector 2 code. I replaced the fuel injector like I had done on a 2001 town and country a few years ago. After I got...

After replacing lifter and spark plugs, coil pack, oil sender sensor, MAP Sensor, throttle position sensor, fuel filter and sender, starter tests good, new battery, new serpentine belt and pulley/tensioner.

    Just want to post a quick write-up of my experience changing out the water pump on our '01 T&C with the 3.8L. Reason for changing the pump was what became a constant chirping squeak from the rear engine area. (Alternator and idler pulley had been replaced in the past two years.) Inspection of...

    Took my 2006 Town & Country (3.8L, 163,000 miles) to dealer to diagnose a rough idle condition after I ruled out all the usual suspects. They found low compression on cylinder 2, so I had them pull the head thinking the valves might be pitted or burned. They reported the valves are fine, but the...

    Hello After perusing the internet researching how to replace a PCV valve on a 2007 Chrysler Town and Country I found many different opinions and experiences. The biggest problem reported was getting the PCV valve out without damaging the valve cover. This is how I did it. It is imperative to...

    . My 2003 Grand Caravan Sport would stall just after starting (backing out of my driveway), or at a traffic light taking my foot off the brake then by the time my foot got on the accelerator it would also stall. Taking a slow corner, at low RPM (500-1000) same thing. Sometimes the Tachometer...

    Hi All! I've been away a lot due to a lot of work (guys, do you know that one of the most important INC500 budget hosting provider went bankruptcy and I almost lost everything? Geez.. luckily I had a friend at the datacenter!) but now I am back! Sooo.. my story: I've been changing today the...

    Greetings, I have a 2001 Grand Caravan 3.8L V6 AWD that I purchased used in March. A few months ago, I started to get seemingly random charging system indication lights with no codes getting set and lighting the MIL. However, I've been experiencing power dropouts under load (between 2 and 4K...

    I am taking our 2002, 3.8L T&C to the shop again to try to figure out the random misfire that occurs consistently during warm-up but occasionally when fully warm, especially in cool or wet weather. The last time I had it in I was told by the mechanic that he thought this particular engine was...

    The oil light is coming on when stopped. About 57K miles. The oil level is fine and the oil and filter have been changed every 5K. I changed the oil pressure sensor and still have the problem. No strange engine noises. Hard to believe it could be an oil pump or screen at this mileage. What...
  15. 4th Generation Chrysler Minivans: 2001-2007
    Hi All, After dealing with an undiagnosed cold engine / cold or wet weather misfire for the better part of a year we finally had an effective repair done on our 2002 T&C. The problem they discovered was a vacuum leak between the upper intake manifold and the engine that involved (so they say)...

    Hey all-- So the ol' 2000 DGC (3.8L) has coolant leaking out of...everywhere. I took it to my trusted mechanic and the total damage was worth way more than the sale value of the 170k mile vehicle. The wife wanted a 2-door sports coupe (which she got) and to ditch the van, but I convinced her...

    Any one has successfully used 3.8l 2003 engine in the 2005 T&C? I have 2003 with low km and my 2005 engine failed, can I swap them? Kalabanga.
  18. 4th Generation Chrysler Minivans: 2001-2007
    I have a 2006 Town and Country Touring edition. While I knew it was using oil, apparently it used faster than I replaced. The other day, the wife was driving it and it suddenly started making a loud clacking noise from the engine. (louder than a clicking valve, not as loud as a thrown rod)...

    1999 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.8L Engine I'm losing power steering fluid through my rusted power steering pump housing. I've reviewed the posts for power steering pump replacement and my repair book. Any suggestions before I get started? It does not look like fun... Questions: 1. Do I really need...
  20. 3rd Generation Chrysler Minivans: 1996-2000
    I have a 2005 T&C 3.8 liter automatic. The van engine sputters between 35 and 50 mph whether I'm on flat road or going up an incline. The van drives OK, but its really starting to annoy me. I took it to the Chrysler dealership and they replaced the cam and crank sensors and gave it a clean...
