i am having trouble starting my 97 caravan.  it also wants to stall
sometime, while sitting at a light, and wont restart immediately.  it acts
as if its not getting fuel.  it cranks over just fine, but will not fire.  i
cant really hear the fuel pump kick in, but i dont know that i ever could.
can someone shed some light on this subject?

Thank you,

Troy

also, another question i have is, the pipe that comes from the exhaust
manifold down to the cat, is that a seperate piece or one full piece back to
the tail?  mine has rusted in two right at the cat, and i was told by a
friend that it is flanged at both ends, and all i need is that piece.  i
called the local dealership and they called it a crossover pipe, and want
$550 for it, i called a muffler shop and they said that year caravan doesnt
have a crossover pipe.  im confused.....help

Thanks again,

Troy

what engine do you have.  I had a stalling problem with my caravan 3.3L
and it turned out to be the crankshaft position sensor or the camshaft
position sensor [not sure which one] but its close to the distrubitor
lmost under it.  I dont know if this is whats wrong with yours but it
worth looking into.   By the way is you check engine light on?

The 3.3 has no distributor.
