2006 Chrysler Town and Country Misfire | How to Diagnose a Misfire Quickly and Easily

[@covocy842]

Don't sweat it cause you missed something. We're all human we make mistakes, especially in auto repair! You did great. Found the problems and fixed it.

[@insidebillyshead]

I replaced the ignition pack like you said and it runs great! Thank you!

[@juniorjones5137]

Thank u same problem p5 town country kept getting misfire on 3 put in new plugs and wires but after still misfire cylinder 3 finally replaced the coil pack for the first-time it runs better now thank the Lord Jesus is wasn't the fuel pump or a bad cylinder I have 280,000 on it now trans messing up around 50 mph but the Lord has been good

[@mondocjenson-dy8zd]

Thank goodness you didn't have to replace the PCM 😮

[@juniorjones5137]

[@lancehughes140]

Thanks for your honesty. This helps me a lot

[@vhnguyen9447]

Love your honesty!

[@hermangathers9213]

I like the honesty 💯

[@Silverhorn2]

Great clip, thanks for the share. It inspires.

[@vasquezmarcos01]

I thought my van was ready to get junked, i changed the spark plug and wires,the fuel inyectors and the coil ordered everything on ebay for a fraction of what Autoze sells them for and it drives like new Its amazing

[@tonistamos7641]

Told they only replaced one coil , would habmve 2 replace gasket fir tune up wth . What coil and what gaskit

[@izzycamaro]

I don't think that you made a mistake, you are troubleshooting and you found the misfire, I learn to make sure to check the intensity of the troubling coil and a good one. Thanks a lot. Great job.

@@izzycamaro Thanks! 🙂

2004 T&C 3.8L. P0306. Van idles rough, gets good mpg (23-24 hwy). Changed plugs. Changed wires. Changed coil packs. Replaced injector. Compression good. mechanic looked at it and says it was something with the valves or valve springs. I can't pay for an overhaul. Wondering how it can be a valve issue since compression tests good? It's been two years and about 20K miles.

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Good question. I've seen this before on other vehicles where the exhaust valve isn't opening enough to clear the cylinder for fresh air and fuel. The compression will look good which can throw you off. Here's a link to a video I did about a Ford Fusion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/janTgmafrql7kJo

[@stripecatflippangitnamecha8721]

True Ignition coil pack like this don't throw codes sometime. I ended up buying sparkplugs then nothing change so I bought ignition coils then it works.

[@richhannan4523]

2007 Dodge Caravan I got new spark plug wires wires and one coil replaced. I did have an overheat and a radiator problem which had to be replaced. Being told now I have two bad cylinders. Wondered if any of you had any ideas. I'm not very mechanical myself. Thank you

[@missouriinventor]

No biggie, you just need a spark Plug tester that allows you to adjust the length of the spark pulse your viewing which shows you the intensity, they are not that expensive and have a small plastic knob that allows you to adjust the eletrodes on the tester to varing lengths of spark, they are marked according to secondary voltage so you know if your getting 20kv or say 40 kv. Old engines you just needed the spark verification, newer engines need intensity as they run higher compression and leaner fuel. Great video.

[@joshstabler3438]

That’s good info. I’ve worked on my own vehicles for a long time, but I wouldn’t have thought about intensity. I would have figured that the spark tester was manufactured recently, so it likely would have some kind of circuitry that either shows spark is “ok” or “no spark”. I would have been wrong.

[@shanelliemay]

What is that probe you used to evaluate the coil pack? In the video you call it a probe, but what is it exactly?

[@TheRealScooterGuy]

My 2007 T&C 3.3 started running rough and engine light came on. First parts store couldn't even get the code to read (tried to tell me it must be a manufacturer-only code and to go to the dealer). Went down the street and second parts store pulled a cylinder 5 misfire. Thanks for the video -- shows me what I'll need to check. (But dang, I hate working in the back.)

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

@@TheRealScooterGuy Is funny since making this video I've done a number of Dodge/ Chrysler vans and they all needed ignition coils. Must be a common failure point. Let us know what you find 👍

[@GEnnsBelize]

Hello, thanks for video My 2002 Chrysler town & county “IGN SW” fuse burns out often, (sometimes every 10-30 minutes, sometimes every 2 weeks) could it be the ignition coil fault?

[@u.s.a.198]

Thank you!

[@AlwaysDiagnoseVehicleFirst]

Good evening sir hope your day is going good! I was looking up p0300 in the factory manual online and I'm trying to comprehend test 3 in the book where it says, turn the ignition off, disconnect the ignition coil harness connector, disconnect the fuel injector harness connector, ignition on, engine not running., With the DRB3, actuate the ASD relay., using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the (A142) ASD Relay Output circuit at the Ignition Coil harness connector and Fuel Injector harness connector., Does the test light illuminate brightly? Yes👉Go To 4 No👉Repair the excessive resistance or short to ground in the (A142) ASD Relay Output circuit. Perform POWER TRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-5. Are you able to help me comprehend that test sir?

[@mxjuan234]

Mine is running rough and I I can drive slow but cannot overdrive at all soon I push the gas too overdrive it’s not going you can be the ignition coil

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

@@mxjuan234 It's possible. If the van has a misfire it can cause the transmission to not shift correctly.

[@anthonyjones4182]

So im having a no start problem the codes are just all over the place, ive change majority of everything it asked me and it will just not start,any suggestions

[@derrickleiby6261]

fuel pump?

[@sumphoo]

Nah you did great. You may have run down the rabbit hole, but I only had to read the book. :) Thank you.

[@u.s.a.198]

I have the same exact issue.

[@RussellWalker-v9s]

I have the same issue 2012 dodge caravan 2 4 6 showing mis fire

[@RussellWalker-v9s]

It has separate coils

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

2, 4 and 6 are all on the same side. What other codes are you getting? Any timing codes?

[@UnknownIdaho]

Use an HEI ignition tester, it will show strength of spark.

[@atmoore74]

Lot of crappy ignition packs out there for this model van especially on ebay being sold as new.

[@chicago23cub]

I replaced the ignition coil check engine went off ran good for about 5 days now it’s has a slight miss fire again .

[@AmberHillman-z9b]

Caravan mechanic use channel, based on what one got a problem
