My Car shuts off after a certain period of driving. When the car stops i can't put any gas to it I have to stomp the pedal a few times for it to accelerate.

Asked by Steven May 25, 2015 at 10:45 AM about the 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I had the egr valve replaced and the hose
cleaned, but its still shutting off. Now there
is a burning smell coming from the car and
it jerks a few times before it stops running.
I'm not sure if its the transmission or the
fuel injection system or even a totally
different issue. Any advice or help would be
greatly appreciated.

On a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan LE, the electric windows won't roll up. Last week the passenger window wouldn't work, I turned the ignition key a couple of times and then it worked. Tonight, the drivers side window is about 1/3 down and won't go up. The passenger side would work though. I tried the ignition switch a couple of times and that didn't help. I then disconnected the battery to let the computer reboot. I waited 60 seconds hooked up the battery cable and now neither window will work. I have a 96 Caravan also, so I swapped the window switch between the two vehicles and nothing changed. I have tried to find the window fuse or relay and can't find it. The rear wing windows do work. Help, thanks 3 Answers
