those vans are really bad for input and output shaft sensors on the transmission

check the fuses if the fuse blew the heated side of the sensor will not work and still kick the code also a v-6 has 2 upstream o2 sensors

it is a knock sensor code

Head gasket(s) out or a cracked head. Driving the vehicle this way will further ruin the engine.

Could be low fuel pressure, or a long list of other things.Is the check engine light on ?Does it feel like it is running rough, or starving for fuel ?

replace the fuel filter,sounds as if it is cloged

check your brake switch thier is two one for your brake lights and one to activate the shift lock soliniod.

Was it running before this?? and if not could be in the fuel system. Have a pressure test preformed which can be done without car running. If this is the case then that would indicate fuel pump needs to be replaced....hope this helps and Please rate this post and good luck.

check your fuse.

I have provide the answer to this already in duplicate post.

Yes there are cooling system hoses under the intake, here are instructions to remove the intake.Instructions

1. Remove the Intake Manifold
   • 1Drain the cooling system and relieve the pressure in the fuel system. Disconnect the negative battery cable, the air intake duct, the IAC valve connectors, the throttle position sensor and switch connectors, and the EGR solenoid valve.
   • 2Pull the EVAP canister vacuum and purge hoses, the vacuum hoses from the EVAP, the brake cylinder, pressure regulator and EGR tube. Tag and disconnect the spark plug wires. Remove the distributor cap.
   • 3. Take out the three left bank injector connectors, the thermal transmitter, the ground harness, breather pipe and the upper manifold. Disconnect the fuel feed and return lines and plug them with golf tees to prevent fuel spillage.
   • 4Locate the right injector harness connectors and disconnect them as well as the fuel rail and injectors. Remove the coolant temperature switch harness connector and the water hose from the thermostat.
   • 5Loose the bolts on the lower manifold in sequence. Remove the bolts and left the intake manifold from the engine. Remove the gasket and discard it.
   • 6Clean the mating surfaces by scraping the old gasket material and carbon deposits. Clean the surfaces with solvent and inspect them for damage.
   Install the Intake Manifold
   • 7Put a new gasket in place and install the lower intake manifold to the engine. Tighten the bolts in sequence as follows: first pass-35 inch pounds; second pass-78 inch pounds and third pass 70 to 84 inch pounds.
   • 8Connect the ECT sensor connector, the fuel supply manifold and the right bank injector connectors. Connect the fuel lines and then install the upper intake manifold. Put the breather pipe in position.
   • 9Install the intake manifold ground cable, the thermal transmitter, the left bank injector connectors and the distributor. Reconnect the spark plug wires.
   • 10Continue reconnecting all the components, reversing the order in which they were removed. Connect the negative battery cable to the terminal. Refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant.
   • 11Start the engine. Check for fuel or vacuum leaks.

something rong with the wireing

It should be down, but you won't know thatIt will be a little loose fealing when closed & okeyUnless you got hit at 40 mph or more it is okey

usually when this happens its caused by the caliber being push beyond its normale operating range or contaminated brake fluid. you should change the brake caliper and flush the brake lines with brake cleaner then bleed the system with new brake fluid

I would think you would take it back & have themcheck their workMaybe you had more than one problem & did notcommunicate what you wanted doneYou have to tell these repair shop what to doThey won't do a thing that doesn't make moneyin quick amount of time.They just do the easy stuff

You will find it in the exhaust pipe somewhere before you get to the catalytic converter. It may be in the exhaust manifold that bolts to the engine head, or anywhere between there and the middle of the exhaust system

10w30 for high millage of any brand mobil is a good choice
