this vehicle has coil packs for the ignition correct? have you ran the engine at night with all surrounding lights outs so its really dark. spray a mist of water on the coil packs and spark plug wires to see if you have spark/voltage leaks jumping out from them. sometimes the tiny sparks will be so fine and skinny you can barely see them so it needs to be dark. hope this helps your trouble shooting. a coil pack could have such a fine crack for the voltage to leak from that you cant see it.

SOURCE: have a 91 dodge ram 3500 van and have no spark.

I had a similar problem and had to change the distributor pick up. Quite easy and parts were less than $30.00. It was for the B250 model, and the 318 engine....but I suspect there is a similar pickup in distributor for the bigger engine

Eng. icon came on idle and runs rough no power

First, have codes read to narrow possible causes. clean Idle air control valve or replace. TPS failure or "dead spots" send wrong signals to ECM. A blocked cat., low fuel or pressure, O2 sensor bad, sparkplug and wires faulty are some of many reasons.

2001 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport 3.3 Wifes van started running very rough last week while in slow moving traffic then stalled out. Code showed "map sensor", got a new one and installed. No change....

A bad vacuum line will cause this code also. Also it will cause a rough idle and stalling. Open the hood and listen for a hissing sound. track it and you,ll find the leak. Also I would just check all the lines to make sure another in not ready to go.

replacing air and fuel filters, pcv valve, sparkplugs and sparkplug wires, cleaning throtle body, thats it, note getting to rear plugs and changing them is a job need a lot of patients, may have to remove wiper bucket, to make it easier to get to rear plugs good luck make sure you use double platnium plugs, costly but correct plug, good luck.

My dodge carvan won't start after 3 attempts. it will run and then die. the alarm system will then light up. does someone have a quick fix

Put key in ignition (do not start) for EXACTLY 10 minutes. As SOON as the anti-theft lights shuts off, IMMEDIATELY start van.

This is a very common problem in GM vehicles.

There is a Passlock or Passlock2 anti-theft system. You can buy a bypass kit with instructions for it.
