---------- MichaelLuscher --------- Thanks for responding Went to EBay, but Not sure what I really need. Hopefully you can answer some of my questions? Engine Scan Codes (PCM) is available with KeyOn/KeyOff (3 times) for OBD-I. There is also a connector inside the Engine Compartment (as I...

Thanks to ALL for responding. In regard to "Capt W" link: (https://www.chryslerminivan.net/), I've read a lot of material there and issues brought forth with the 41TE, such that a "major" repair may be needed. Was hoping that someone on this site might of had a simple "fluid" resolution. Would...

---------- martinq --------- Thank for all your efforts on my behalf. I'll give a fluid refill a try. That's what I was hoping not to do. Not a lot of these old 41TE's still around (to get a reman). With all the "improvements" over the years, IMHO a local rebuild presents a problem, as how...

I stumbled across this. Definitely worth a Read. https://carsymp.com/transmission-service/transmission-fluid-change/diy-transmission-fluid-change-risks/

Thanks to all for responding. FWIW: (1) Because this is ODB-I, biggest problem I have is how to get codes from the transaxle. As I understand it requires a DRM-II or DRM-III (that may be DRB not DRM, going from memory) which is NOT available. Engine codes are accessible using the...

Forgot to mention fluid is clear and light red on the stick and no burnt smell to it. ---------- martinq --------- When you say the fluid was changed at 80k & 103k was that a complete change or a drain & fill? At 80K, I ran the engine and pumped the ATF (likely had ATF-3 at that time) out of...

I'm the original owner. The vehicle has ~125K miles. Transaxle Fuid was changed at 80K ,and 103K. Around 110K, I had a radiator bypass hose blow and the engine hit the red line before I noticed it and shut down. Engine fine, but shortly after that, I started leaking a small amount (less than a...

HOPEFULLY the problem is resolved (Since ambient temp has dropped, summer 100+ will be the real test). FWIW (Used contact cleaner to): 1. Clean the PCM connector and Pins (connector appeared to be a bit loose so this may have been the issue). 2. Clean the Main connectors (4 of them) leading...

The_Jeff: Thanks for responding: I've got the parts catalog and all service manuals (except PCM, A604, and maybe module internals if they put out one). YES. As far as know all Dodges use an ASD. I can provide a lot of details if needed, BUT -- as I recall -- on first KEYON the ASD is...

-------------- KETJFF ------------ Thanks for responding. Will note that as a possible solution.

f355Sspider: Because of the age of this vehicle, not much going on in 2nd Gen Chrysler MiniVan Forums. That said, internet search shows lots of people (various makes/modes) with this type of problem (hard start hot), but no real solutions, UNLESS I'm missing something. In regard to gasoline...

---------- Marcozi: ----------- Thanks for the response. Had thought about this, but when ambient is around 65, no issues. Only when temp rises over around 95 do relays get hot. I can go to 10 Amps on my VOM, but read that fuel pump pulls 14, so need to get a clamp on Amp meter to test it...

After making changes problem persists when Hot. Relays are still hot, though the last run and soak, NOT so hot that I could Not touch them.. GOING a different direction, the fuel rail is hotter than the relays. Once, the vehicle is started, the fuel rail cools down quickly. Since our...

Thanks ALL for responses. Took it for a ride early this AM again (63F), and ran like a charm and restarted after 45 minute soak.. Relays fine (checked several times from turnoff to restart) , and only thing I noticed when running was when I turned on cabin heat, didn't seem to get hot enough...

1994 Dodge Caravan 3.3 L (123,00 miles), Original Ower I've been having an intermittent hard start problem when the vehicle is Hot and after a 30+ minute soak.. Cold the vehicle starts at first CRANK, and runs fine till turnoff. In troubleshooting, after running in 103 degree ambient for 16...
