Default 2001 3.3 Caravan intermittent no start

Help...... I own a 2001 Dodge Caravan 3.3 I have 2 problems, the first was a slight miss at idle. I repalced the coil pack and it is now running smooth. The second is a wine on a cold start ( goes away after 1 min and its not the idler pully) The last problem is sometimes it will not restart after you have been driving for awhile it cranks but will not fire.Also there are no codes. Thanks for your help..........

Welcome to DF
The whine sound maybe the power steering reservoir,and the no start problem should have given some type of code. Either an asd relay or crank or cam signal. Unless the fuel pump is starting to fail? But even if the pump fails, you should still have spark at the plugs.

Thanks for your help, the power steering reservoir dose not make sense to me, did you mean the pump, there are no moving parts in the reservoir?

if the whine is in the PS pump, lucas PS oil works wonders at quieting down whiney pumps.

the ODO says "dunn"?

next time it wont start check for fuel and spark, see what one it is your missing

Oh you mean ( done ). They all do that when either you don't have any codes or has gone thru all codes. That is same we had in the old days when you count the flashes. 12 being battery disconnect and 55 end of test. Now you get the P code and end of test = done.
