It’s not locking correctly anymore. it’s dragging the engine and lugging it. I’ve had it independantly checked at a trans shop and at a Stealership and they both said thats me problem. It’s a known issue on the 4th gen T&C vans

ohh dear. Sounds like you had some of the issues as I with my Chrysler T&C. the big thing is to check for vacuum leaks, short of that, I’d check your connection to the Coil Pak, Check the condition of your wires. even a small crack can cause one or a few to peter out/fail. another good idea posted before is some mulm has been sucked into the fuel system from running the tank dry… Damage can also happen if you cranked an extended period with the pump out of gas. The gas cools and lubricates the pump. I would suggest a fuel pressure check. another thing that can happen if you’ve had a rougher idle before, the injection harness can degrade. our era of vans is known for it. but since you said it ran fine before I’m guessing it is fine.

thank you for the replies, my Cyl Misfire was gone until today when they retested everyting. they knocked off one of my vacuum repairs.. either accidental or purposeful. either way I found it, the CEL came on after and I’ll read the code. but how it was running. it was a CYL misfire. btdt– and actually got out the computer diagnostic equipment. I wont go into the Complete and utter farce that happened when I got there. needless to say, I about forced their lead ‘trans tech’ to walk a mile back to the dealership… and it only escalated from there….. but, apparently the Torque converter is the issue. they wanted 1900 to repair. I said No way. I called a trusted trans shop for another opinion. they’d charge me 350.00 to replace it. so, until the next update—

This is not surprising…. I am annoyed, after 500.00 it’s not right at all… it is going back today. I’m going to write out a very detailed list of what i expect…

The plot thickened and then Congealed.
So, I took it in for flashing. they told me the solenoid pack was leaking. Replaced it (they are PROUD of that solenoid pak….) Van STILL bogs down despite the ‘fix’ they did NOT flash the computer as I asked…. so it goes again tomorrow and I’m leavign the son of samuel there til they fix it…

I’ve yet had the oppertunity to have the computers reflashed, but I have found out what was going on. instead of grabbing the next gear, the trans is attempting to grab 2, hence the bogging down. It’s a computer glitch. I will report back after the programming is done

Thanks for the replies. The dealer$hip wants 200.00 to flash the computer. I’m going to disconnect the battery after I get my window fixed and retrain the trans and see if that helps… That is the cheaper of the two currently.
