Default '02 GC codes P0300 P0302 P0305 P0352

Hey guys.. thanks in advance for any useful help you can give me.
First I want to start off with "I AM AN IDIOT", I did not come here and research my problem first as I should have.

Problem occured when I got in my 02 Grand Caravan 3.3L 170xxx miles, after work last week. It started kind of misfiring, but not too bad. as I headed home on my 45 mile trip to the house it got worse and worse... NO ENGINE LIGHT. I stopped into Autozone anyway to get them to check for codes.. they found none. by the time I got home.. still no engine lite or any other warning light.. and it was really running poorly. I got up the next day to go to work and was gonna drop it off at the dealer to check it out. it would not crank. Had to have it towed (68 bucks for 10 blocks). The dealer called me later that day and said the PCM was bad and needed replaced.. (989 bucks). I cringed but did it.. Well when I picked it up.. it ran great, except now the airbag light was on.. they told me the airbag module needed replaces too and was another 700 I declined and figured I'd find a module somewhere and drop it in myself. Later that nite.. the engine light came on and it started running poorly.. took it and dropped it off the next day to have it rechecked.. they called said it was the #2 Coil and was 250 to replace. I declined that and had em put it outside. I grabbed a coil pack on my way home as there isn't a parts house that had one in my small town. I questioned the service manager about the problem.. wire? plug?? he assured me that they had done a thourogh check of all the related components and it was definatly the coil pack. I went ahead and installed the new pack .. it ran great.. still had the airbag light. no check engine light. drove it to work this morning.. ran great.. got in it to come home from work.. misfire.. and flashing engine light as I drove. checked at AZ and they came up with 4 codes. P0300 P0302 P0305 and P0352 all related to the 2 and 5 terminal on the coil. So I got home metered the old coil.. everything seems fine with it. No corrosion that I can see anywhere on the high tension side of the coil or the plug. (plugs and wires are only 1 yr old)

so anyway.. here is my problem.. I got soaked by the dealer for a grand.. my van is broken (I love my van, I put all 170xxx miles on it) I cannot drive it.. I have no confidence in the dealer now.. I gotta get this thing fixed. I am thinking it has an electrical problem that isn't necessarily sensor related.. bad ground etc. This I think could explain the original prob and the now "bad" airbag situation.. plus the issues with the new codes. OR maybe a crank or cam sensor? I don't know, and I don't know of any shopI trust to give me a proper diagnosis on my problem.

so please if any of you have had this or these probs and know the answer.. let me know. I will be forever grateful. Sorry about being so long winded.

thanks

Sean

Hi sean

I have a PDF file for the codes that you are having. And the wiring PDF too. The problem you maybe having is an open driver circuit wire. Send a pm if you want to email the PDF files. Leonard
