They have two relay's one for high and one for low speeds.

You mean the belt tensioner? Probably broken, and I would say the belt idler is suspect, but see this video for first hand view:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQoIS6a_F8o

Before you do any transmission work, have computer checked first.

i had the same problem with my 2000 plymouth voyager i would lock the doors and after a while the alarm would sound by itself this was a common problem on these vans what i did was lock the doors manually and the alarm never went off anymore a little aggravating but it worked hope this helps.

Sounds like it could be a gasket leak, or a fuel line leak. Here's why; when the motor gets hot things expand/swell, with it acting up in the afternoon only i think it could be due to more heat causing expansion as compared to when it is cold. I would check for leaks first due to such an intense aroma of gas. Then i would look for gasket leaks around the throttle body which can be checked by spraying starting fluid around the throttle bottle and taking notice if there is any performance/idle change. IF so there is a leak, try to pin point it if possible. Most likely though i would say a fuel leak of some sort so look for a puddle of gas or wetness in the engine compartment around the intake manifold.

My Chrysler Pacifica does the same thing, look in your owners manual and it tells you how to reset the door locks using the ignition key.

try putting the belt over the tensioner pulley and remove the belt from another pulley , then release the tension and position belt over final pulley

Is the injector circuit shorted to ground ?What are the trouble codes stored in the computer ?And are you loosing coolant ?

Well the pump relay is supposed to power the pump for 3 seconds, then the computer must see oil pressure or RPM to continue powering the pump. If the check valve in the pump is faulty, you could loose fuel pressure back into the tank when the pump is off.

Hi Garret,here's a link on how to replace your radiator,seems easy,here's your new radiator,comes with lifetime warranty,never have to buy again,I use them.It says you should use extended life antifreeze cause of the aluminum water pump,you can get prestone antifreeze at Walmart for 12.99 a gallon,mix it 50/50 and you will have 2 gallons.Also get a new radiator cap.

The fuel filter (1) is mounted next to the fuel pump module (2), on top of the fuel tank (3)


The fuel delivery system uses quick-connect fittings. The fuel filter mounts to the top of the fuel tank.

1. Properly relieve the fuel system pressure.
   
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
   
3. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
   
4. Place a drain pan underneath the fuel filter to catch any spilling fuel that will result from disconnecting the fuel lines.
   

It may be necessary to support the weight of the fuel tank with a block of wood and a floor jack. Once this is accomplished, loosen, but do not remove, the fuel tank strap bolts. Allow the fuel tank to lower just enough to access the fuel line fittings at the fuel pump module.



Disengage the fuel line quick-connect fittings from the fuel pump module


Be sure to place a drain pan underneath the filter line fittings to catch all fuel spillage

Locate the fuel filter in its mounting on top of the fuel tank. Detach the quick-connect fittings from the chassis fuel supply tube and fuel pump module by squeezing the quick-connect fitting retainer tabs together and pulling the fitting assembly away from the fuel line nipple. The retainer will remain on the fuel tube.


Using a 10mm socket, remove the fuel filter mounting bolt ...


... then remove the fuel filter from the top of the fuel tank

1. Remove the fuel filter mounting bolt and remove the fuel filter from the fuel tank.
   

To install:

1. Install the fuel filter on the top of the fuel tank and tighten the mounting bolt.
   
2. The fuel supply tube (to chassis fuel line), return tube (to pump module) and fuel supply (to fuel filter) tube are permanently attached to the fuel filter. The quick-connect fitting ends of the fuel supply and return tubes are of different sizes.
   
3. Apply a light coating of 30W engine oil to the nipples of the fuel filter.
   
4. Push the quick-connect fitting over the fuel line until the retainer seats and clicks into place. Be sure the retainer tabs have locked into the case of the fitting.
   
5. If necessary, raise the fuel tank and tighten the fuel tank strap bolts.
   
6. Lower the vehicle. Start the engine and check for leaks.
   

Front O2 sensor.

Well the starting problem could be fuel related, code 134 is for an open circuit going to the O2 sensor in front of the catalytic converter.I doubt the code would cause the engine not to start.

This sounds like the master cylinder isnt releasing pressure I would change master cylinder.

Have you Hooked up a Scan Tool to see what the Code is? As a Reminder... The Engine Light will come on when the Vehicle stalls..
