Code p .0300 is multiple random misfires and that can be mostly a fuel pressure problem
p0303 is misfire on no 3 cylinder an injector problem
code p0 456 is EVAP system problem --small leak detected EVAP pressure sensor, mechanical fault--hose connections
check the fuel pressure and check for a problem injector seal at no 3 cylinder
it could be the source of low fuel pressure on starting

SOURCE: code EGR P404

Code EGR P404 is a problem with EGR (exhaust gas recirculaion), you have to replace the valve, check here for parts: partsamerica
The part costs $80/$100,. Having it done by a qualified mechanic, which is always the best choice costs around $250/$300.

SOURCE: Code P0456 on 2003 Town & Country

Below are the possible causes for your engine light and error code:

Possible Causes:

  • EVAP fuel tank or canister vapor hoses leaking or damaged
  • EVAP system component leaking, fuel cap loose or missing
  • Leak detection pump damaged or leaking

The fuel cap is probably the most common cause of this problem. It's considered part of the emission system and if faulty or not place on the filler tube correctly, it will throw an error. Best of luck with your engine light issue. Take care!

Check for

vacuum leaks on intake manifold,

the air tube between the air filter.

intake manifold vacuum hose.

===
clean throttle plate with Berryman carburator cleaner

SEE sample picture HERE
===

Also remove carbon built up behind the EGR valve and the EGR passage tube.

===

Vacuum leak WILL offset the intended 14.7 to 1 air fuel ratio.

More un-metered air (leaks) will lean out the fuel mixture.

Use small amount of Berryman carb clearer at potential air leak area will help you identify trouble spot.

At idle,just spray and listen for the RPM surge.

The in-rush of carb clearer will increase the RPM on the motor.

Record the problem spot(s) and address it later.

===

EGR carbon built up require 2+ hours to clean from start to finish.

You will need a new EGR base gasket before your start.

Locate and remove the EGR valve after the vehicle is cool down.

Carefully record the connector and vacuum line (for older vehicle) location by drawing an easily to follow diagram.

Remove the EGR valve.

Inspect the location of the carbon built-up inside the valve and the EGR passage tube.

SOAK these areas with WD-40 spary.

You will need a small screwdriver,cloth hanger and lot of newspaper and time to get this cleaning done right.

RE-SOAK the carbon and let it sit for over-night will also help.

One the last round,pass a shop vacuum of the EGR valve and the passage pipe.

Install the new EGR gasket and connectors.

Allow the vehicle to warm up outdoor to burn up any remaining WD-40.


Take it for a test drive.

SOURCE: Picture of bank1 sensor1 o2 sensor location on

I do not have a diagram but, bank 1 is the bank where #1 cylinder is at. other side would be bank #2. so bank #1 o2 sensor is just before convertor.

What does code p0123 on chrysler town & country mean?

P0123 Code - Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit High

It means the throttle position sensor is open. ( there is no connection ) when you get a flooded engine you push the throttle all the way down and hold it until the engine starts. this is called clear flood. when you do this there is no gas going in the engine so it can clear it's self out and start. so if you have an open tps there is no gas to start the engine. note before you buy unplug and replug several times in case you just have a bad connection.

Hope this helps.

2003 Chrysler Town & Country CODE P1698

My wife has a 97 town and country. For about 2 weeks the instrument panel
was going out then coming back on. A couple days ago it got bad. The van would start and run only several seconds then the engine would shut down.
I took the Instrument panel out and it started and stayed running. I pulled the
PC board found the bad Soder connections and resodered them. Problem
was gone and the P1698 code erased. Best thing is it did not cost me anything and the van is fixed !

97 chrysler town & country dies while driving will only start when in park, runs fine but dies without warning and will restart in park???

Well first it should only restart in park or nuetral, any check engine light on? May be fuel pump if not. Listen for pump running in fuel tank. Should run at key on for a few seconds. If check engine light on, it should be scanned for codes, possible crank sensor

Two weeks ago my 2007 Town & County (23,200 miles on it) began hard starting. So I held down the key about 4 seconds & it started. My owner's manual says to not hold the key down over 15 seconds....

Sounds to me you dont have a problem. Every once in a while, if the car was hot when you shut it off and tried to restart it after 1-3 min of sitting, you might have to crank it over for a few seconds, to clear out the engine. I wouldn't worry about it if it only happens once in a while.

Describe your 2005 Chrysler Town & Country Problem HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO CHANGE FRONT CRANK SEAL?

it's not too bad to change, you will need a special tool to remove the crank pully, it looks like a 3 jaw puller and once you get that off the seal is right behind it. Make sure to clean the crank pully shaft that goes through the seal with a piece of emery cloth to prevent leakage and coat it with either transmission assembly lube or a small amount of motor oil to prevent a dry start that can damage the seal again
