Have a 99 dodge caravan with the 3.3, wouldnt start one day, so unhooked -battery cable for awhile, then hooked it back up and it ran for bout two weeks, well it did it again so figured it was fuel pump so installed new pump and filter, it started right up, ran good , drove it around parked it, next day took off went around corner and it did it again, quit, so unhooked battery and put back on and it started, but when i put it in gear it quits or if i push down on footfeeder it quits,,,,,,any imput appreciated

 

no check engine light?

 

was at first till i unhooked - cable and put back on after bout 10 minutes

 

Are you getting spark and fuel when you crank it after it dies?

 

just got van to my place,, charged battery,,door was left open,,it started right up,,,after i put in a couple of gallons of gas,,ran for about 20 minutes,,,went to drive it, put in geare and pushed down gas and it quit,,started bacdk up but when i put it in gear it quits,,,,check engine light is on,,,,any reply appreciated

 

Disconnecting the battery clears the codes. Have the codes read before you disconnect it again. Autozone or the like will read your codes for free. Can't get there? Cycle the key 3 times from off to on/run (not start). Leave it at on/run and read the codes off the odometer display. No display? Count the flashes of the service engine soon light. A code 21 would look like flash, flash, pause, flash. Should end with a code 55 (end of codes).

 

tried the three times and leave it on and and it does nothing. Cant really run it to autozone because i am bout thirty miles fromn town, would have to tow it. ????

 

oh ervice engine light goes off after I try the three off on off on. How long do I wait for the flashes???

 

No... dont tow it to Autozone. that's a waste of money. They dont fix cars there.
just buy a cheapo pocket code reader. Makes life a lot easier, and it will work on All make and model for the future too.

Your first step is to get your CEL code read.
