Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / December 20071998 Grand Caravan stalls
3.3 liter (130k miles) engine will randomely stall at low speeds, stopped or wont start unless accelerator is depressed. No Check engine light when it runs it runs very smooth When I say stalls it just dies no hesitation or sputter at all. Any ideas? >3.3 liter (130k miles) engine will randomely stall at low speeds, >stopped or wont start unless accelerator is depressed. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Any ideas?

They usually only last about 150K miles. beekeep >>>3.3 liter (130k miles) engine will randomely stall at low speeds, >>>stopped or wont start unless accelerator is depressed.

I replaced everything ignition or fuel-related without success. Mine typically died at idle (at a traffic stop) or at partial throttle when moving at 15 - 20 mph. Never did solve it; traded on a 2002 model in 2004. Kent >>>>3.3 liter (130k miles) engine will randomely stall at low >>>>speeds, stopped or wont start unless accelerator is depressed. [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Kent Sounds like the exact same issue. Yea I really don't want to chase this problem down by replacing parts. I've read many blogs and no one seems to be able to nail this issue. Even dealer's from what I have read have a hard time diagnosing this problem. I'd really like to hear from someone who has actually had this problem and found a repair. The way it just dies without any warning and at random intervals makes me think it's an electrical/electronic problem.

I think this guy needs to bend over and let me add some injector cleaner..he's not firing on all cylinders.

If it won't start unless you give it a little pedal it about has to be this or maybe a defective ais motor Denny >>>>>>3.3 liter (130k miles) engine will randomely stall at low >>>>>>speeds, stopped or wont start unless accelerator is depressed.

[quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Denny Well It's been awhile almost forgot to post back results. Thank You Denny, After your post I found the AIS (Air Idle Speed) Motor to be faulty. Simple test of removing it from the throttle body and cycling the ignition on and off (without starting) shown the solenoid not working, it would just chatter and not move back or forth. Replaced it and now after 2 weeks have not had any stalls and always starts without applying any throttle. Hope this helps someone else. Dave |
