problem #3

Oct 032008

Town & Country LXI 3.8L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 158,000 miles

I have some sort of electrical problem 1. cranks but won't start 2. windsield wipers go on and off by themselves 3. door locks go crazy (lock, unlock, lock, unlock) 4. engine stalls while driving (usually on highway)

now I can't even get the engine to turn over half of the time. I've installed a new fuel pump, fuel filter, crank sensor, cam sensor, a couple of different relays and nothing has helped. I've had it to 2 well respected mechanics and they can't figure it out. The check engine light is not on, and there are no trouble codes. Can anyone help?

Cranks but will not start. Finally after installing a new computer the van started up, but now runs only a short time and begins to backfire once it gets hot and will not run until cooled. We noticed that under the van there was a part that got really bright orange almost like it was on fire.

We've all ready put in a new fuel pump, a cam sensor and a new battery and have pulled it from one mechanic to another and finally back home. Nobody can find the problem!
