How do I replace an alt on an 97 Grand Voyager?

All timing marks aligned and distributor rotor pointing at # 1 cylinder at TDC as it should? All that has been confirmed properly aligned? What engine?

Timing is not adjustable and why would it change??

Is the steering rack 14 years old?

Have you flushed the fluid every 30,000
miles ,since new

Does the system leak and your low on fluid

We need all that when you ask a question !!

I have replaced alot of transmissions in thease vans, i would try changing the filter and fluid, if that doesn't help you may be looking at replacing the tranny.

I'd have fuel pressure checked, and at the very least, replace fuel filter. Not unusual to get multiple misfire codes due to low fuel pressure, thus starving cylinder(s), and causing the misfire code(s).

go to http://www.autozone.com/autozone/homePage.jsp and sign up, put in your vehicles info and click on repair guides, they have oil pan remove and replace but no guide for the oil pump but its located in the oil pan and usually held on with 2 bolts and a gasket inside the pan, Tough job probably need someone with mechanical experience to help with this.

It sounds like the connection to the cluster is not making good contact.

I had the same thing happen, No, I was told this is not one of the engines that allows the piston to contact the valves. I replaced the timing belt 2 years ago and had no valve problems.

You need to pull out the Printed Circuit board behind the dash board gauges and re-solder ALL the parts on the board. Only attempt this if you are experienced at soldering electronic PC boards as you could permanently damage the board.

Possibly the oxygen sensor. Had same problem with my Accord, had oxy sens replaced and that not only fixed the problem but I got better gas mileage after that.
