There the excess fuel pressure is released into the tank. http://forum.chryslerminivan.net/showthr...

SOURCE: can't keep running

Hello, this can be a multitude of problems but I will try to give you a list to check and i'm sure you will find the problem. I would check your battery connections and make sure that they are tight and not corroded. Next, I would get your coil packs tested and see if they are working. Autozone offers free diagnostics and this will pinpoint an electrical problem for you. I would also check things like your spark plugs and wires to see if your plugs are fouled or if you if have a bad spark plug wire. You may also need to a tune up and replace your oil and air filters. Bad gas is a possibility and so can be dirty fuel injectors. I would run some injector cleaner through your system and see if that helps. This problem can range from all of the above to a bad fuel pump, I would suggest getting a professional diagnostic done on your car so the problem can be pinpointed and if you find one and do not know how to replace it yourself but you want to save some money I can guide you through the replacement of a part and if anything refer you to a Haynes or Chilton Auto Repair Manaul. I hope this information helps you in your endeavor and I wish the best of luck with this because I am sure you can fix it.

SOURCE: I have a 97 voyager , it starts up cold first tap

I see why your questioning why now for heat shield but I'm trying to narrow down the possible causes, as like you, it doesn't make sense to me, after replacing all those parts, unless maybe one is faulty. For years they used a heat shield over starter, now, not so much, but you'll have to look at location of your starter in relation to exhaust heat, and decide whether you feel it's necessary or not. As in other post , are you getting any clicking noise of any kind, when trying to start hot?

SOURCE: 96 plymouth grand voyager dies

sounds like a dry coil

coils are built with an insulation to dissipate heat
in the old days they used "oil" and you knew they were almost dead when the vehicle would do just want you mentioned... die while driving and not restart until cooled down

today's coils are much different except they use a solid insulation...when this breaks down you get the same affect

after 14 years, assuming you have the original coil its a safe bet!!!

I have a 96 ford explorer. Driving one day and it just shut off. Replaced the fuel pump. It cranked over but did not start. Thinking it may be a bad pump i replace the new one. Still nothing. Replaced the...

It could be a blockage in the fuel line to the engine - after the filter.
I'm assuming you've tested the line to the filter, as gas would have come out when you took the filter off.

How do you remove a fuel pump on a 97 plymouth grand voyager

    • 1 Make sure the engine is completely cool. Relieve the pressure in the fuel system. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Elevate the vehicle and support the fuel tank with a jack.
    • 2 Disconnect the fuel line from the front of the tank. Remove the ground strap, the inboard side fuel tank straps and the front T-strap fastener, then lower the tank approximately six inches.
    • 3 Take the fuel lines from the fuel pump module. Plug the fuel lines with golf tees to prevent the spillage of gasoline. Remove the fuel filter.
    • 4 Install the new fuel filter. Set the bolts in place and torque them to 40 inch/pounds. Tighten the main tank straps to 40 foot/pounds and the T-strap to 250 inch lbs.
    • 5 Reconnect the fuel lines in the reverse order of their removal. Lower the vehicle. Connect the negative battery cable.
    • 6 Start the engine and let it run for several minutes. Inspect the fuel lines for any leaks.

1999 grand voyager le how do i replace fuel filter

Hello,

To replace the fuel filter of Your 1999 grand voyager, please follow the steps below, You will be in need of these instruments, Line wrench set, 3/8-inch ratchet and socket set, Replacement fuel filter kit.
  1. Park the 1999 Grand Voyager in a ventilated area and engage the emergency brake,
  2. Walk to the back of the 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager and completely unscrew the gas cap from the fill neck on the gas tank. Taking the cap off will remove the pressure in the fuel filter.
  3. Jack the back of the 1999 Grand Voyager up and put the jack stands under the rear jack points. Slowly release the jack so that the van is sitting evenly and securely on the jack stands.
  4. Slide under the passenger-side rear of the van behind the tire. Locate the fuel filter that is mounted to the upper part of the gas tank. This type of fuel filter has three fuel lines coming out of it.
  5. Position the drip pan under the gas tank in the general vicinity of the fuel filter. Using a clean rag, compress the fuel lines on the ends. The fuel lines are held to the fuel filter by a plastic clip. Compressing the end of the fuel line will unlock the fuel line from the clip. Pull out on the fuel lines. Do this to all three of the fuel lines.
  6. Remove the bolt from the fuel filter bracket with the 3/8-inch drive ratchet and a 3/8-inch drive socket. Then, pull the fuel filter out of the bracket and put it into the drip pan.

  8. Push all three fuel lines onto the appropriate fuel filter ports. Hook the fuel lines to the same fuel filter ports that they were hooked to on the old filter.
  9. Pull the drip pan out from under the van. Screw the gas cap back onto the fill neck of the gas tank until it clicks. Then, turn the ignition key on and off five different times. Crank the engine on the fifth turn of the ignition. Inspect the new fuel filter for leaks while the engine is running. Then, turn the engine off.
