Hi all,
My Dodge Caravan 1997 3.0L has been having troubles lately with starting in the morning. It first struggles to start but once it idles the car drops out as soon as the gas is applied or changing gear. After 3-4 attempts the car starts fine for the rest of the day. After consulting an auto repair shop that said that the battery we had was a bad battery and most likely causing the problem. After replacing the battery the problem still persists.
Any advice?
Thanks greatly

 

Are there any codes? Even if the check engine light isn’t on, codes can be stored.

 

Hey,
We get codes 12 &. 22. But then after about an hours driving they disappear again. Only to return the ne, t morning.

 

I searched for dodge codes, here is a page with a list from Dodge Trucks that is likely the same for us. Find your ECM and make sure the connections are tight, specifically the ground wire.
