stalling out

[debra tucker]

I have a 96 dodge caravan that stalls out periodically what could it be

First off, from Steeler Country, congrats on a well-played Super Bowl.

Some more information would help, like engine size? Is the check engine light on? Have you checked for codes? Have you noticed a pattern when the stall happens, like when it's cold, or sitting at a light, does it re-start immediately or do you have to wait a while before it starts again, etc.

thanks for the congrats... The engine size is 3.3 the check engine light does not come on I changed the egr valve and cam sensor prior to this happening it stalls at a light even sometimes driving it down the road and sometimes it starts right away n sometimes I gotta let it sit for a couple mins bfbefore restarting I'm thinking maybe fuel pump or something else related to the fuel system

Are you saying that the engine dies while you are driving down the road or dies when you let off the gas pedal to make a turn?

Ya it just dies when I'm driving it or sometimes sitting at a light

What was the reason for changing egr and camshaft sensor?? Were getting codes and if so what were they and are you getting any codes now?? I would hook up a fuel pressure tester and tape to windshield wiper to moniter fuel pump. (Possible bad pump, if this happens again try tapping on the gas tank if you can with a rubber mallet and see if the pump works again). Could also be a crankshaft sensor that is heating up , then when it cools off again it works again.

Does this happen alot or intermittent??

How many miles?

The check eng light was on the codes were miss fire so we changed the sensors I haven't checKd for any codes since then cuz the light never came back on. Intermittent n 187000 miles

Do you have a code scanner or reader?? I would just check for codes again to see if there are any pending codes. You can also use the key dance to check for codes.on/off, on/off, on and the check engine light should flash( example---flash pause flash flash = code 12, 55 code means end of codes) or you may see a code number in the odometer if a digital cluster. Could also be coil but the intermittent is puzzling. Hopefully Alphabravo or someone else has a better idea. I am thinking if you needed to change the camshaft sensor I would also change the cranshaft sensor. They usually fail about the same time. without throwing any codes.

Had 1994 caravan 3.3 v6 do that same thing , New crank sensor & coil Fix my problem mind had a lot of miles on it.... MPS
