Question -
Ok here goes

I have a 1992 caravan with 246,000KMS on it, 6 cyc 3.3 and the dreaded a604 tranny.

Tranny was replaced (so im told) before I got the van and only has about 10,000kms on it

I have replaced the tranny fluid and the output sensor.

Now heres the problem when the van is started in the morning around 7am it works perfectly all the way to work about 30 miles,(van sits at work all day in the sun) But when i leave work after the day is done about 5:30, the van will drop into limp mode and no matter what I do it stays there even if i shut off the key give it a minite it still just drops back in to limp mode if not before I move it will go into limp mode (will even drop into limp mode waiting in line at the drive through coffe shop) in under 10 feet of driving.

Now if i drive it in limp mode at 80 kms per hour (55 mph) running about 4000rpm until the engine heats right up to the hot line on the temp gauge than turn off the key and restart it will come out of limp mode for the rest of the trip (most of the time) But i dont like to heat it up this much every day. Than the next morning or later that night when its cooler outside it will again work fine.

I have not been doing a lot of after work driving lately because I cant have the van die on me --its my only transport to work--

I have not got the codes pulled yet because I just dont have the time right now and every body in canada charges for this service.

I was just wondering what your thoughts were on this weird problem im having.

This is the only problem I have had with the van so far ansd it is the only family car we have..

Thanks for all your help in advance

You need to get the code no to know where to start.
May be a minor or major problem.
Get it and post back code noo.
