Hi all,
Im having some odd problems with the 3.3L engine in my Grand Caravan LE AWD.
A problem showed up yesterday where the engine temp gauge was going from mid point (normal) to very hot every few mins randomly. I had a breif chat with a mechanic who sugested the first thing to check/replace would be the thermostat.
So today, i got to work removing the igniton coil/ignitor from the intake manifold to access the thermostat housing, and then changed over the thermostat. I then put everything back together.
Now the engine wont start... well it has a couple of times, and then idles fine, but when trying to rev the engine, it runs very roughly, then stalls.
Im 99% sure i have the ignition leads back on in the correct order (if i didnt, it wouldnt idle anyway), and i have checked the other electrics connectors around the theromstat that i could have bumped/moved.
So now im looking for other electrical issues. I have checked battery connections, the ECU connector, most of the sensor connections. I have not been able to find the cam & crankshaft sensors though.
So does anyone have any ideas for things i can try? Can anyone describe to me where i can find the cam/crank sensors and plugs?
I have also tried to check the engine error codes, but the off, on-off,on-off,on-off,on trick does not seem to be working at all.
Thanks for any help!
