2002 Caravan starts, runs 2-3 secs, dies. Sometimes starts and continues running. If dies 3-4 times in row, won't turn over, but 10 mins later starts and stays running. What is the problem?

If the fuel pump and injectors check out OK, then this is likely an intermittent throttle position sensor. Sensor thinks the engine
Is flooded and shuts off the injectors.
This may never set an engine code.

SOURCE: engine dies

I had the same problem with my 94 chevy 6.5 diesel,and spent alot of money trying things that people told me to try.I wound up taking it to the dealer and they told me it was the injection pump.They put one in it and that fixed it.It has run great for over a year and a half.This set me back about $4000.00!

SOURCE: 2500hd dies then starts and dies again

CHECK AIR FILTER FOR RESTRICTION. A BAD SUPPLY PUMP. OUT OF FUEL. BLOCKED FUEL RETURN LINE. AIR LEAK IN SUCTION LINE. RESTRICTED FUEL FILTER. INOPERATIVE FAST IDLE. LOW IDLE SPEED AND DEFECTIVE INJECTION PUMP.THIS IS A LIST OF THINGS TO CHECK.

SOURCE: After turning off the engine of my altima SE 1999

A lot of cars have the fans running after the fact, they just cool down the temp a little, have you checked your coolant lately? Keep an eye on the temp gage on the dash, make sure it doesn't go very far, It should be very constant when running.

Testimonial: "I just changed the thermostat from one with 195 C degrees to one for 170 C degrees It corrected the problem Thanks"

The EGR valve will not opon when the engine warms up so that is why it dies out

SOURCE: Just turns off on it's own, Wait 60 sec. restart press pedel it dies.

This engine is electronically controlled so the first thing that must be done here is to have the systems control computer tested for fault codes and then do the proper diagnostics based on those codes.

You have a IAC problem (Idle Air Control) This may or may not set off a drivability code you may be able to clean it and restore it the proper way is to remove it and use brake cleaner (This is waht the dealer use) They dont want you to use carburator cleaner it just works temporarycansmo_50.gifcansmo_51.gif

98 Dodge Caravan-why are the led lights on the AC control panel flashing?

The blinking lights in the rear wiper rear defrost area can be reset by holding 2 buttons of the 3 on the left hand side. The top and bottom buttons. Turn the key on and hold them for about 10 sec and they should start flashing differently. Just let it do this. After they start flashing different. It will take 5 to 10 mins. Then one or more will quit flashing all together. If they don't after about 20 min reset them again it can take about 5 trys sometimes before they all go out.

89 regal won,t start but after 5 or 10 min. runs great

sounds like your fuel pump is going out. One thought might be that the fuel filter is causing enough resistance to over heat the pump. I would check the fule pressure to determine a free flow of fuel.

Theft system 2000 malibu ls

try this: turn key on, crank starter for 1 second, leave key on for 10 minutes. after 10 min. shut key off and repeat 3 times. (on second try, crank a sec. or so longer, the reprogram may take off right away. if not, repeat make sure battery is strong, key could be on for 1/2 hr. sometimes engaging emergency brake before key is turned on prevent daytime running lites to come on to save battery power (if equipped). been through it, thought i'd mention it
