2002 Dodge Grand Caravan not starting
When the ignition is engaged, the car turns over but does not start. Seems to be getting plenty of juice from the battery. Fault codes are P0353, P0352 and P0351... pointing to spark plugs, wires or ignition system or coil.
About a year ago I had the same problem. Replaced plugs, wires and coil. I think the coil was bad as putting that in fixed the problem. I believe I had the same codes too.
I cleaned the plugs and replaced the coil, but still not starting.
I bought a spark tester and 5 wires give a spark, #3 doesn't seem to spark much, if not at all. The odd thing is that when the #3 plug wire was on the tester, grounded, the van started! I removed one the other plug wires and used that for #3 and same non-spark, but it starts.
Removed a spark plug and it is wet with gas. I would think his seems negate a fuel filter/pump problem.
What could it be?
Any help would be appreciated!
