1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager 3.0. Power steering and wipers quit!
As the two systems are not connected in any way, I would call it an odd coincidence. The power steering is a hydraulic mechanical system that routs fluid pressure created by the power steering pump and signals are input from the steering shaft to the rack n pinion. And the wipers are electric mechanical that takes the power from the electric wiper motor controlled from the wiper switch to the wiper transmission which moves the wiper arms.
2000 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER BRAKE SMOKING. IVE
possible the master cylinder is not allowing the brakes to release all the way. also did you check the slider bolts on the brakes to make sure there not binding? if there new or all the brakes are smoking i would lean towards the master cylinder
Passenger side coolant leak
I'd have to see it in person to comment. The water pump is on the passenger side of the van. A mechanic would fill the cooling system then pressure test it for leaks.
I have a 1989 Plymouth Sundance
With the quality of today's fuel, I would not even attempt to run an engine that has sat for that long without thoroughly cleaning the entire fuel system. You will more than likely need a new pump, but that can be verified once the tank is down and the pump is out. The 20 amp fuse should just be in the interior fuse panel.
Peeling paint on Dodge 93 Caravan
The paint is not covered under any warranty. Especially for anything over 15 years old. Even if you purchased a warranty extension through US Fedelis or equivelant, It is still not covered.
It will probably cost about $2000 to have it repainted. You can always call around for cheaper prices.
My 1989 Plymouth Reliant cranks but does not start. Could it be fuel not reaching the injector? Does it have 1 fuel injector or 4 fuel injectors?
An engine will have an injector for each cylinder it has. So a four cylinder has four, a six cylinder has six and so on.
If it has been stood unused for that long the first issue could be the fuel. Fuel over time can go bad and leave a varnish like coating on the fuel system parts. Drain any fuel in the system and tank and SAFELY dispose of it then refill with fresh fuel.
What EXACTLY does it do when you crank it? Just winding and no attempt to fire is often a spark issue. Cranking and trying to start is probably a fuel supply issue.
A simple starting point is a basic service on the vehicle. Fresh spark plugs and a new air and fuel filter with the fresh fuel should make a difference. Only remove ONE plug lead at a time to avoid mixing them up and keeping the firing order correct.
Before removing the first spark plug crank the engine for 2 to 3 seconds. Then with the ignition key out remove the first spark plug and smell it. if the injector is working you should smell fuel. Refit spark plugs gently by hand and don't over tighten them to avoid stripping the threads out.
When cranking do it as lots of 2 to 3 second bursts as this doesn't flatten the battery as fast. It might take a few attempts cranking to pull the fresh fuel through to the injectors.
