2001 Caravan Stalling

May 06, 2005 1 Replies

Hello



I have a 2001 Caravan 2.4 engine 49k miles that only stalls when stopped other than that it runs fine. The problem is very intermittent some time it idles fine. When it does stall the engine will not start for about five minutes and when you try to start it during that time it sounds like it is backfiring through the intake manifold. When I do have to stop if I increase the idle buy pressing down on the gas peddle and braking at the same time its ok. Normal cruising speeds on the highway and around town if runs just fine. Also I am getting no error codes at all. So far I have replaced the inlet air temperature sensor and the idle air control valve and cleaned out the throttle body. I also disconnected the EGR valve but that made no difference.



Anyone want to take a guess at what to look at next?



Thanks for any help.

Ok, my guess is this: Check the CO2 sensor by unplugging it NOT REMOVEING IT.

Try running the van. If this makes a difference the CO2 may be bad.

Next hook it back up.

If this made not difference at all then the timing belt bay be slipping and going bad.
