I have a grand caravan sport 2003 and recently the car shut down on its own while I was stopped. Started it and it all went well for like 3 hours when I parked infront of a store and it did it again. 5 mins later the engine stopped on a busy street and it took me 5 mins to start it and safely park it on the side when it shut down. It seemed that the engine was stopping when the car not in motion and I switch the transmission. When it stopped couple of tries it starts but with super low rpm and doesn't react when I press the gas pedal then it stops. Next day I let it run for 3 hours and it happened only once when dimmed up the dash lights. Since then never did it again. Any ideas what could the issue be??

Did you by any chance get gas before this happened? If you overfill your gas tank sometimes it affects the engine but when the gas goes down some in the tank everything normallizes

  • Jordan damy Oct 19, 2014

    I don't really fill it more then half of it since i work with this car. I don't think it's that. I was told its ether a loose wire or the fuse box, I tried inspecting all wires I could reach (exposed them and looked through) but non seemed damaged. I had one burned fuse ( eatx batt) but it still does it after I replaced it with a new one. After I exposed all reachable cables I tried pulling gently on them to simulate vibration while the car is running hoping it would stall but no success. It really does does when it feels like it (even while in motion) but once I manage to restart it the engine it will shut down when I switch a gear.

    U'll never guess... Burned cables around the top of the engine

I would check the brake booster behind the brake master cylinder. The problem developed when braking was applied. When you shift from park to drive, your foot is on the brake. Try pressing brake without moving shifter and see if stalls. If so, power brake boost pump is bad. If it does not stall, that isn't your problem.

I have a 2003 Grand Caravan 3.8l that is loosing coolant

1st check the condition of the oil by checking the dipstick. If the oil looks milky then it's a head gasket issue. If oil is ok, refill coolant, start vehicle and let it run for 5 to 10 min. If you notice alot of white steam coming from exhaust then it's a head gasket. After vehicle reaches normal operating temperture, shut vehicle off. Now you're gonna have to check each individual spark plug. If you find one that's wet from coolant then you're gonna have to replace head gasket.

Horn inop 2003 grand caravan

Yes, it sounds like the connector on the horn could have been accidentally unplugged while the work was being done.

The horn is under the hood very near the front grill on left or right side.
