Re: 2002 Dodge Caravan intermittent stalling problem
Yup, forgot 4th gen van sensors are fixed. Shouldn't be a need for a spacer.

If there is no need for a spacer on the crank position sensor any other ideas or suggestions on what else might be causing the stalling problem? Thanks again for all the help, |

Re: 2002 Dodge Caravan intermittent stalling problem
If the problem started after you changed the sensor, I would suspect the new sensor. It is not unheard of to get a faulty new item, especially an electrical item. I have had my share, and most came from the place where you got yours. So much so that I no longer buy anything there anymore. I even got a bad spark plug from there once, causing an intermittent miss that set me back a long time trying to figure it out. I would try another sensor. What caused you to change it in the first place?

I originally changed it because of a missing problem i was having with the van. If the sensor was bad wouldn't it throw a trouble code? |

Re: 2002 Dodge Caravan intermittent stalling problem
My 1996 T&C van was doing the same thing and left me stranded in a New Mexican wilderness. The problem was at a communications ribbon cable connection. The base (receptor)in the dash instument cluster panel has solder joints that, over time develop radial cracks that can cause a disruption of the low voltage circuit. Oft times people have reported fixing the problem with a sharp slap on the dash over the instrument cluster. The best repair is to remove the instrument cluster and get to the back of the cable receptor, then resoldering the connections. Be careful not to overheat the foil on the circuit board. It takes some time, but was an inepensive fix that worked for me. I hope this helps.

Re: 2002 Dodge Caravan intermittent stalling problem
Crank and cam sensors are infamous for generating erronious data without throwing a code. Take a close look at the connection and harness. If all is well get a new sensor.

Should I Replace just the Crank sensor or replace the crank and cam sensors? I was also wondering if theres any chance the IAC is bad? I took the original one out cleaned and replaced it along the throttle body and that didn't seem to solve the stalling problem. The problem seems to be very intermittent last week it went two days without stalling at all, and yesterday at every red light i had to put it in neutral and "two foot it" to keep it running it would also stall as soon as i took my foot off the gas pedal to slow down for red lights or while coasting through a parking lot. And today it stalled maby 4 times all day. Last edited by nxm10; 06-17-2011 at 12:00 AM. Reason: . |

Re: 2002 Dodge Caravan intermittent stalling problem
Hey, just to throw in a curve ball... Any chance the fuel pump is intermittently stopped working? Maybe it pumps up (starts) after the pressure equalizes but not when there's a higher differential pressure for it to overcome?
Maybe I'm just thinkin too hard? |

Re: 2002 Dodge Caravan intermittent stalling problem
SUCCESS FINALLY!!!! I replaced the crank position sensor today that i bought from autozone, when i pulled it back out i found that the actual magnetic sensor on top wasn't out as far as the one i purchased from the dealer and from what i've learned on this board that will cause all kinds of problems for the van. So now it runs like a new van again! Thank you to everyone for the great advice and tips! Without it i would have probably would have dumped the van into a river lol.
