Yeah The simple solutions are always the most expensive when it's already packaged up for you. A lot easier to use the base ingredients and keep an eye on it. Much cheaper and my hot tub is in much better shape because of it

It was more of a diary than a how to.

The life is the reason why I posted it. Just that alone is hilarious to me.

I tried finding that myself and it's nearly impossible. Find a junkyard or a scrapped Jeep Chrysler with the V6 and steal that connector. Everything I found was wrong as far as part numbers. Actually on mine I think I got rid of the connector and found solderless connectors just to connect the pins directly

I actually need to go back and watch this video again cuz I don't remember at what point I stopped working on the van. What ended up fixing my van for good was I found that a small transistor burned out on the ECM. It was a tiny little sucker but I desoldered it and soldered a new one on and then everything was perfect after that.

We don't have many guests using it but the few understand when we ask them to shower first. Even I don't follow my own rules once in a while but I'm the one who maintains the hot tub.

Yes

They don't use very much air so that would work just fine

Yeah it's all fixed a long time ago. I don't remember much about it so can't really help any more than that

I'm not home right now but I don't think it has a brand name on it. It's just a cheap one I bought off Amazon

Glad it helped

Did it work? Or what ended being the problem?

Sorry for the delay, yt doesn't notify me of comments. I don't remember what all I did, it's been a few years and my memory sucks. What ultimately solved the problems with my van was I had to replace a blown transistor on the ecm. About a 5 dollar part, 30 minutes total and it ran perfectly.

Glad it helped

Hey that sounds like a coolant temp sensor. You will probably have two of them I would replace them both. It's an important sensor that can cause your car to run like crap, if the temp Gauge seems to be not working properly I would highly suspect that's your issue.

@wyrdo1501 Thanks for the advice, man. Unfortunately, in the end, I had to get a new main computer module. Tried different things, among which is changing the coolant sensors, but it didn't work. The main computer was somehow damaged by the previous owner, probably a crash, and the main module was ducktaped literally. 1200 $ canadian just for the part. I don't have the issue now, lol.

@@mehmedasotic584 oh crap, im dealing with these same issues on my moms van at the moment trying to get it figured out for her, i have suspected the computer is messing up but praying thats not it. hard starts, the lightening bolt, throttle issues and noticed the temp gauge seems to work but then dances around with a mind of its own. been having weird issues like this for the last 6 months on and off and now its just took a real crap a few days ago. figures the damn part is that expensive too :( most things i have changed on this damn thing have been double what i would have expected. cant complain too much its got 320.000 miles on it and for the most part has been amazingly reliable and trouble free. still has the original alternator and water pump and fuel pump, its always some oddball issue with this thing.

@wyrdo1501 I changed the sensors two times, changed, and reprogrammed the electronic body throttle. Nothing worked, unfortunately. The thing is that buying a used part in this case is almost not an option, so I had to get the original part, waited for two weeks for the part to arrive form US ( I'm in Canada ) , my temperature gauge was glued to the bottom all the time and with a new module it worked instantly. Starting it in the morning was not an issue, but every time after that, when I tried to start, it barely could start only with me hiiting the gas pedal like crazy. Good luck with yours. I hope it's not the main computer

You tube fix it Felix grand caravan cel lightning bolt. Turn key to acc mode, wait for cel to stop flashing, push throttle to the floor, release slowly, turn key to off and then start... might have to give it gas if it tries but does not start Good luck

Hate to tell you this but your transmission was probably fine. I'm dealing with the same issues on my moms van for the last few months and her was acting the same way not wanting to shift right and acting like the transmission was messing up. In the process of cleaning and connecting/disconnecting wires whatever the problem was got better for a while and the van was running normally and shifting fine again. Now in the last 2 days it's having problems again and doing the same crap. I really think these cars have some issues with the wiring somewhere and messing with things can get it back working and people think that whatever they replaced fixes the problem. What got our van going the first time around was I pulled the throttle body off and cleaned it and replaced the egr and tube, i really think I just happened to wiggle the right wire in the process and that's what got things working again. Wish I could figure out exactly what it was but I feel bad that you replaced the transmission, it most likely was fine. I swear I hate everything being electronic and computer controlled now days, it makes issues like this so hard to track down and so aggravating, not enough money in the world to pay me to be a mechanic these days and I enjoy working on cars, anything after about 2004 I just don't want to deal with the headache or the constant fight to get to parts to replace them.

Will add to my other comment. The transmission not wanting to shift into gear and then feeling like it was slipping really bad and jerking going down the road was exactly what my moms was doing and I thought the same thing thay the trans was the problem. I can't call it computer controlled junk because the van has been a good vehicle for over 250.000 miles but once this stuff starts its been nothing but a headache trying to track the actual problem down.

I know it's been almost a year now, but whatever became of your issue my friend?

@geomj5577 i replaced the pcm and it was working for like a month but the same coils was burned hahah then im still with the issue trying to fix about the ground or something like that

@@antoniocarrerasany update? I’m having the same issue

Pull the ECM out and remove the cover. Look in for small transistors. You will probably find one that is bubbled or burned out. If you find that it's a relatively easy fix and if you don't know how to solder surface mount pieces, you can probably take it to a local computer store and they can solder a new one on. I had difficulty finding the transistor but I might have one or two extras left over from when I had to do the repair on my caravan

And it probably has a weird silicone stuff on top of the control board. You might have to gently peel that stuff away to access the burn transistors then refill the hole with RTV silicone once the repair is complete
