Could be the vehicle anti-theft system (if equipped) is unable to 'read' the microchip in the ignition key. This will cause the anti-theft system to shut down the vehicle after about 5 seconds (to prevent theft).This could be caused by a faulty chip or anti-theft system, or if more than one chipped key is present on the key ring or in the vehicle. Try starting the vehicle with only the ignition key in or near the vehicle. If the vehicle stays running, then the problem is interference from another key. It may also be possible for electronic devices such as cell phones or garage door openers to cause interference. Try starting the vehicle without such devices inside or nearby.

What causes a dodge caravan to jerk and not pick up speed while driving after a speed sensor has been changed?

I would like to know that myself. I have a 1990 2.4L Caravan. I put in a used tranny when the other failed. a Month later it started to bog down while driving. It only happens when the engine heats up. Then I have to floor it to get to speed and it still acts like the engine cuts out and comes back and cuts out again. I stand on the brake while in gear and give it gas and it starts to stumble. Put it in park and rev it and the engine runs fine. I am wondering if it isn't the shift solenoid?
