Questions & Answers
Question : My dodge b1500 1997 van 3.9L 6cyl. The van cuts off-replaced many sensors any ideas?
It happens when i come to stop at a light or after i stop (for gas) and crusing down the highway it starts to cut off and i have to restart on road.
I think it is some sensor because i replaced:
Fuel pump - (in tank) It was going bad anyway as it turned out (no fuel pressure - not up to spec) so this was good
TPS throttle position sensor
Ignition Coil
Distributor Coil
Idle Air Cntrol
Rotor/distbutor
Plug wires
Plugs
Air filter.
Of course, It runs much better as these DID need changing but, it still stalls. Seems to be no way to predict conditions that occur to cause the engine
shutdown. I noticed the lights did go out once when it was about to stall. But that doesnt happen every time.
I dont have enough $ to replace all the sensors and / or the EMT computer (unless you know that is what is wrong).
The van usually starts back up but sometimes with difficulty. Sometimes I must turn off the key and try again to get it started. Otherwise, if I start
cranking it then it doesn't fire up. It's like it is not getting fuel, but, see details below for what I have replaced.
Anyway, no codes come back. it failed while on the analyzer and they still couldnt figure it out. I was told a relay could be bad too. I switched all the
identical relays around but no luck.
--------------
The parts I want to try next are expensive so I am trying to narrow this down:
Ignition Switch
Crank position sensor
Cam position sensor
MCU (computer)
PS. I did scan at auto zone and it returned the coil. I erased the codes in case it happened again and it has stalled hard a few times but now returns no codes. so, what returns no codes that could cause this van to stall?
Answer:
why don't you have the computer scanned on it its free,and it will keep you from buying parts for it that you don't need,you can replace every sensor on it and still not get it right,seen it happen a few times,auto zone or advance will scan it for free,then you,ll at least know,your going to wind up replacing parts on it that it don't even need,more or less wasting money on it,good luck with it and merry x-mas.

Question : 2001 Chevy Venture taking 2 much gas, producing black smoke, turning off while I am waiting at a traffic light
I changed my engine 3 weeks ago as I blew up my head gasket. Ever since the engine change, my van is taking a LOT of gas and sometimes produces lots of clear smoke when I am driving on he highway. If I am parked in P, and give some gas, it is producing lots of black smoke. Also, my engine light has been on for a while and I took it to AutoZone today and they checked my van's computer. The analyzer reported that I have Mass Air Flow sensor and O2 sensor problem. So, today I replaced the MAF sensor and the problems seems NOT to have gone. I still see occasionally clear smoke while giving gas on highway and black smoke while being in P. I have already spent $3000 on my van changing the engine and spent $250 today changing MAF sensor and my battery as it was dying out.
As I said b4, while waiting at a light being in D, after 5-10 secs my van will start shaking and will eventually turn off.
Any help will be appreciated as I am very helpless.
Thank you all.
Answer:
When the check engine light goes on it means the cars computer is seeing a fault in one or more systems. Getting the trouble codes from an autoparts store can steer you in the right direction to repair but the code has to be diagnosed. It is not always a faulty sensor, it could be a bad ground, an open wire in a sensor circuit. I'm sure you don't want to go spend more money guessing the problem. A few things you can check to make sure that you must have a qualified tech fix the problem is to check the basics. 1. Make sure your battery cables are clean and tight. 2. Make sure the vacuum hoses are routed correctly and there are no leaks. 3. Make sure all electrical connections are properly connected and tight. You said that you had the engine changed because the head gasket was blown, as long as the engine is in good shape and the proper one for the vehicle it should run as well as it did before you blew the head gasket.

Question : 98 Nissan Altima poor idle quality, trouble code 304?
I have a lot of automotive experience, but with older engines. Sometimes this "high-tech" emissions crap is a bit over the top, and semi-functional at that. This condition began after an oil change that puddled onto the valve cover, swelled up the spark-plug boots, and soaked the top of the engine until I opened the hood, and reacting to what I observed, replaced the plugs and wires, yet the code 304 (misfire Cylinder #4) recurred. The car went back [to the same place that changed the oil!--Inventors of the 721 tire and the Wrangler series on Ford Explorers ; D ] and their diagnosis was intake manifold & valve cover gaskets. This is bull, and yes i know my roommate's trippin, bringin it back to them. One fuel injector plug-in was very loose, so I connected it back up and so far, no trouble code (I have a handheld like Suntune diagnostic analyzer) but is this most likely something in the EGR system? Please, I'd appreciate any help on this....
@1: Duh! Congrats, you got 2 points

Question : 2001 Hyundai Elantra - Transmission range sensor circuit malfunction?
The check engine light comes on sometimes but usually turns back off soon.The car never had a problem driving. A few weeks ago, the engine light came on. A few days passed and nothing seemed wrong, until I tried to start my car one night. It seemed like it was about to crank but couldn't completely start. After three times, it finally started, and this has happened a few more times. I took it to a friend and he said that I needed a new air filter, injector fluid cleaner, and other cleaner spray he can put through the system (I can't remember the name). I bought the air filter and injector fluid at Advanced Auto Parts, and I got them to use a engine analyzer machine on my car. This is what the machine said: P0456 ECAP Emission Control System Leak Very Small, P0455 EVAP Emission Control System Leak (Large), and P0705 Trans Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction. How much would it cost to fix the transmission range sensor circuit malfunction? How does one fix this? What else could be the prob?
Also- My air filter was filty (I drive on dirt roads a lot). when I lifted up the air filter, I found dirt, which I vacuumed out. I replaced the filter already. The guy at Advanced Auto told me not to worried about the first two problems, but to worry about the transmission problem first.
Also, I don't know if this helps - but sometimes it takes my car a few seconds to accelerate when I drive, like my car is having trouble shifting gears (it's an automatic).
Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I am a complete car idiot. I don't know if I should worry this much or if it's something to worry about. I don't know what to do next! And I think I'mdriving my dad and boyfriend crazy with my worrying haha.
Thanks for your answers.
Paul, after I put the new air filter in and also put injector fluid into my full gas tank, it accelerates a lot better.
Also, I had lost my gas cap and bought a new one the day the guy at advanced auto parts used the machine on my car.
Now the only things I'm worried about are:
Number one- the transmission range thing? My power steering pump is shot, would that have anything to do with that?
Number two- Someone advised me to buy injector fluid spray so they could spray it into the system. I haven't been able to find it. Is there another name for it?
Answer:
the EVAP codes are from the gas cap.
the trans range sensor is not only a neutral safety switch(only allows car to be started in park or neutral)but also tells the trans controller(computer) what gear you are in.if the computer gets the wrong signal you will have shifting problems. as far as how much money? depends if the switch is bad?an electrical short?bad computer?
and dont listen to these people telling you to put additives in your car they often do more harm than good.
change all your fluids and filters regularly!

Question : 2001 chevy venture --- Slow take off and taking lots o gas with clear smoke coming out from tailpipe?
I replaced my engine three weeks ago as I blew up my head gasket. The mechanic assured me that I will be fine by replacing the engine. So I replaced by spending $2400 on it. And, now my van is consuming LOTS LOTS of gas. I barely go for 23 miles in $10(3 gallons) of gas. Also, my van is having a very very slow take off. I really realy have to put my foot on gas real hard to let he van take off and see lots of clear smoke from my tail pipe.
My engine light was on and through analyzer, I found out that mass air flow and O2 sensor are malfunction. Also, analyzer reported other three codes such as 408, 412, 443.
I replaced the MAF sensor and problems is still persisting. I have already spent sooo much on this van and I am not being comfortable spending any more.
Please help me out here and any advice will be helpful.
Answer:
how come you didnt go back to the guy who replaced the engine? He should have had it running perfect before he gave it back to you!!!!!!
Sounds to me like something is not hooked up right. Mayeb an O2 sensor unplugged. Maybe a coolant temp sensor unlugged or plugged in the wrong place. Have him go back over all his work and dont take the van untill it is running right!

Question : i have a 99 jeep cherokee limited 4.0l that has an intermitent shuddering the check engine light is on?
the analyzer said possible # 6 cyl misfires put new plugs and wires also says malfunction in electric torque converter, also
tps malfunction, also pedal position sensor jeep runs good
90% of time than wammy takes a fit any suggestions
Answer:
first of all,have all the faults cleared,and see what comes back.you might have fixed the misfire faults with the wires and plugs.the tps(throttle position sensor) is the same as pedal position sensor.the tps is one of the inputs that controls the torque converter clutch (tcc) to engage and release.if the sensor reading to the power train control module(pcm) which controls the lock up of the tcc is giving an erratic signal to the pcm,this could make the clutch shudder(on and off) and will also effect the way the engine runs too.I have seen this happen before in the past,after the engine gets up to temp.the internal sweep inside the tps will warp from the heat.they are about $40-$70 from a dealer(recommends) vs.aftermarket which might not last as long.good luck.
