Your van has a system called OBD2 engine control system, have it scanned for fault codes, no more guessing. You need to borrow a code reader from Autozone or others the OBD2 diagnostic connector is under the dash on drivers side

SOURCE: 98 dodge caravan problems

I had the same issue with my dodge caravan and after several attempts by the dealer to fix it, it turned out to be a broken wire. They replaced the relay and it would work for a while and then go blank again. Have the wires checked thoroughly.

replace the input speed sensor to transmission and the wiring pigtail all are available at your chrysler dealer take your vehicle registration in to the parts counter so they have your vin # to get the right part and it is the front of trans by fluid linres to radiator.

SOURCE: spark plugs for the back 3 in my 1999 dodge caravan

Hi,
Yes, you are a very intelligent dude, that manifold that you re looking at, is the problem and the solution, this is one of the few problems where the problem is the solution.

Sol: remove the ****** out the way I bet you finish before finishing reading this.

Don't forget the new plenium original gasket from dealer, grease it with anti-sieze qrease, so on the next sparkplug change can be re-used.

Be careful with the electric wire that feed each fuel injectors.

Good hunting dude!!!!

sorry, but the manifold (intake) has to come OUT !!!!!!!!!

SOURCE: How do I change the rear 3 spark plugs on a '94 Grand Caravan?

Yes, these are tough to get at from the top. Put the front on jack stands or ramps, and you can reach them a little easier from the bottom. You just need to reach up where the exhaust pipe comes down, and you can even see what you're doing this way.

SOURCE: transmission input speed sensor location

It is located on the front of the transmission. you will see 2 of them one on the left under small transmission lines it is the input then to the right behind the radiator overflow there is the other one. Easiest way to change them is with a 1" deep well socket

What causes a 1998 grand caravan 3.3 liter to lose speed climbing a hill with the cruise set but it will hold the vehicle back going down a hill

you have higher torque need when pulling the vehicle up hill but less going down because it does not require as much power to hold your van back. Hope this helps

5 speed dodge tranny compatability

It will bolt up fine, but the 89 lebaron trans is likely to take a different shifter plane setup and the axle splines will be different, unless the van is a late 85 and has the bigger axles from a 86. The most common tranny for the van would be an A520 and the lebaron would be a A555 or A523. There is a tag on the bellhousing of each trans that will have these or similar numbers on it.

Dodge caravan 1998 start problem (alarm set) ,the instument panel is not working and if i start , after 3-4 tryes,is shuting down in 3 seconds, any help?

I have had the same trouble with my 1998 Dodge Caravan, so has my neighbor on both of his caravan vans and We have found that if we slap down on the dash above the temperature gauge it will work just fine.

we both lose speedometer and fuel guages too! Same fix

about once a month I will have to slap it, to get my guages back, and stop the alarm.


I believe it is a bad soldiering connection in the dash but it is not worth chasing it down when I can get by without it.

when the post said the van worked fine after being towed it is because the connection was made while the van was jostled around being loaded and transported
