Definitely sounds like a starter issue... if you're not hearing anything at all, it would likely be a bad solenoid, or a bad connection to the solenoid.

2002 dodge ram 1500 4.7L Cranks and starts after 4-6 secs When warmed it starts fine Check engine sometimes reads cyl 6 misfire Plugs replaced numerous times coil packs fine too Fuel pressure fine?

Sometime the fuel pressure leaks down went he engine is turned off for a couple hours or more. If that happens the engine may be difficult to start later. Try turning on the ignition switch for a couple seconds allowing the fuel pump to build a little pressure, THEN crank the engine. See if it makes any difference.


Would a car door key without a chip damage the ignition system?

Yes! If you take an uncoded key (like an emergency door key) and try to start the car, the ignition system will disable itself. This is why locksmiths generally will not cut a spare key for you, and if they are willing to cut one, some will make you sign a waiver that says you will not place the key in the ignition to avoid getting sued later. A dealer can unlock the system for you. <><><><><> There is also a procedure for coding a new key to your ignition system. Again, see the dealer.

Why does the serpentine belt keeps jumping off on a 1977 dodge Caravan?

I'm not sure if Dodge made a Caravan in 77 but if you have a later one, open the hood and check to make sure that the cowl water drain hose is inserted properly. If that drain hose is dissconnected water runoff will dump directly on to the serpentine belt and cause it to jump off. Think about it, was it raining when the belt jumped? That drove me nuts, been there, done that.

2002 Dodge Caravan just recently wouldn't start in the morning. This only happens in the morning and not every morning. don't know what the prblem is. Could it be the battery please help.?

Will it crank? In other words, can you hear it trying to start? If yes, then it isn't the battery. If it simply does nothing, then yeah it could be the battery. Put any updates under '02 dodge caravan, and I'll check it later, and try to help you out more. Also include what, if any, effect the weather/tempurature has on the problem. This will help me narrow down possible causes.
