Engine dies
I have a 2001 Chrysler T&C. When I initially start my van in the morning it dies - you have to give it gas (while in park) to keep it running. Shifting into gear it'll die unless gassing it. Once running for a bit it is fine & starting other times of the day it is fine. It is the initial start-up after sitting in garage all night. Any idea as to what is the problem? Hoping it's not an expensive one!

Re: Engine dies
Should be able to do key dance to see if any codes are present.
Igntion switch on/off, on/off, on within 5 seconds without starting engine. Codes should should show where the odometer reading is.

Re: Engine dies
how would you suggest to best clean the port in the throttle body? What would you use?

Re: Engine dies
They actually make "throttle body cleaner" and are labeled that way. I'd bet it's carb/choke cleaner, just relabeled. That and an acid brush or soft tooth brush.
