Buy an ATSG Transaxle Manual

They are avail on their web site or at
a local trans supply house where the local
shops go for parts

have the fault codes read
could be a crank/cam position sensor or an immobilizer problem

Check for a faulty brake booster as it appears that the diaphragm is pushing on the brake pistons in the master cylinder from a faulty valve in the booster. Try disconnecting the hose to the booster ( blank off properly to the manifold) and see if the car can be moved with the engine running

Does it not start, or not crank ? And did you try it in neutral instead of park ?

repeat

a fuse does what ? it protects circuit from over heating and burning all the wire. and a wire from the postive side of the batt to the negtive side will heat up depending on how big around the wire is.
so the switch that you put the key in to start the engine, also gives power to lights, radio, etc.
now does the fuse blow when the switch is turned to on, but not to start ??? or only when turned all the way to start ??? if you know that it blows at the 1st point then one of the wires to the other circuits is grounded when switch is turned. if it blows only at start point then a wire in the start circuit is grounded.

Hello chekon,

Thank you for choosing fixya.com. The fuse box cover should have a diagram on the back of it, which will indicate which fuse represents it's component(s). If you are unsure what any abbreviations stand for or represent, look in your owners manual, or look in a service manual for the 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager. I also own a 98 Plymouth Grand Voyager (SE) and have a service manual for it, as well as for the 97 Dodge Caravan. My 98 has the 3.0 L engine, and I have done several maintenance requirements to it recently, so if you have any other questions, please let me know and I'll help you out.

Let me know if you need me to locate any fuses or relays for you. In the meantime, I'll do some searching online for some diagrams. Most sites charge for such items, however, if I find something I'll leave a comment with such findings.

Thank you again for choosing fixya.com.

sounds like loose connection on the pump, also check fuses too loose connection may have shorted and blew a fuse too

Check power distribution panel near battery for blown fuses.
