1993 dodge caravan stalling

stix309 · #1 10-23-2009, 08:03 AM

My wifes 1993 dodge caravan started acting up last night. The van will start and idle fine but when put into drive or reverse and trying to accelerate the van stalls. It becomes difficult to start after that. It will restart in about a minute but the same thing will happen again. My wife said the van had been stalling every now and then when cornering for about the last 3 weeks. I'm not sure what I should be looking for so any help would be appreciated.

That's the strange part, I have no service engine light on. The light works during the bulb check when first turning key, but I have no codes.

light is really that something is out of whack to cause polution increase so if it dont run it dont polute so no light. but did yall do the key cycle thing? yall gotta have at least one or two codes show alwyas 55 and usually 12 too

Could you explain the key cycle thing, not sure I was aware of this.or how it works.

I heard it's some kind of dance with your keys where you turn on the key 3 times. it's too hard for me to get it right so I just use a DRB scanner

- my caravan 93 stalls sometimes when I'm going out from parking or when I'm going out from my house .
- the Codes: consult an specialist to switch the codes and read them, so the codes List will tell you what they mean.
- the Codes told in my caravan: Cables, Hoses about air and something... (it depends your codes).
- We checked the hoses and one of them (about the air comperssion) was bad , after repair the stalling was less.. and the engine sounds better.
- We will replace the distribution cables (it's recommended because in my caravan, we use it daily with passengers and after one year or more, it's recommended and the codes mean soemething about.)
- iF your caravan stalls in Corners and loses power till turns-off, probably the component in charge to maintain the revolutions in low speeds even in slow speeds when you turn in cornes its failling, it is not maintaining the enough revolutions in slow.
that's my opinion and self- experienced issue.
