OK folks, now I have a question, before I go out and sink another $200 bucks in my old well worn Voyager....
The particulars:
1996 Grand Voyager Base 3.0L,3sp Automatic trans, 139,000 miles (yes it's that obnoxious "Soccer Mom Dark Green" too!)~lol
What happened:
Driving at 65mph, my voyager began to sputter, hesitate and stall, I pulled it over and it quit running. After a half hour, it would run but not well enough to move, and if I tried to raise the idle it would sputter, if I tried more insistently to raise the idle (flooring it!) it would backfire, but on a busy interstate, it was hard to tell if it was through the intake, or the exhaust, but I believe it was intake by what little I could hear. while it sputtered it threw some erroneous DTC codes for the Evap purge solenoid and a misfire, but the codes reset and it throws no DTC codes now. (no codes for O2 sensor, MAP, TPS or ignition trigger, nothing but the 55!
So, I shut it down, called AAA, and waited two hours for them to come tow it home. Since it was 30° outside, I started it, and let it idle once or twice for some heat. Right before the tow truck arrived, I started it up, and yeah...you guessed it... it ran like it always has!
I towed it home anyway (heck, it was free!) At home after running for 30 minutes, I trusted it enough to take it around the block, and it seems to run fine now....
So I'm pondering this. I checked out everything I could think of that would cause this and the only thing I came up with was Fuel Pump and/or Regulator
I've exhausted my troubleshooting and mopar skills at this point, by trying to diagnose a Van that now appears to have absolutely nothing wrong with it!
I don't want to blow $200.00 on a new pump assembly for nothing, but I don't want to get stuck on the highway again with it either!
Has anybody else encountered this problem?
I'm looking fo $200 worth of moral support, I guess!! LOL!
