Dodge Grand Caravan

The 2001 Dodge Grand-Caravan has a V6 engine.

If you have checked the coil pack to make sure it is getting power then it might be the ECU. I would make sure you check the engine codes too.

The part at an auto parts store ranges about $120, but to have it done at a shop you could probably tack on another $100 or so for labor..

Yes

If towing never leave shifter in D on almost any vehicle alway put in highest number listed usually the next choice after D the only time to use D is on a flat run at highway speed because D allows Torgue converter lock up or overdrive around town towing or towing on hills in D or drive as you normally would will cause transmission to be confused due to load of towing and slip causing damage

The 2008 Dodge Grand-Caravan has a 4-speed shiftable automatic.

In a car/truck it is located under the hood at the firewall directly behind the brake pedal. Look for a brake fluid container. That big round thing attached to the master cylinder is a 'booster'; if your vehicle has 'power brakes'. Hydralic fluid becomes pressurized in the master cylinder when you stomp on the brake pedal...this pressure is directed by the brake lines (steel tubing) to the wheel cylinders (slave cylinders) which expand under pressure; forcing the brake pads/shoes against the brake drum/rotor. It's called a master cylinder because it actuates the slave cylinders....contact the ACLU or the NAACP if that's a problem!

The connector for reading codes with a scan tool is near the battery.

I do not think it has one. Go to a parts store and ask for a Purolator. If it has one the Purolator comes with instructions. I own one and Clay is correct it doesn't have one.

most are on the bottom left side of the radiator

It may depend on the model year, but at least for the 1996 through 2000(?) model years it means "END". It simply means that there are no more codes to display.

Trouble code p0731 means: A/T Additional Gear Ratio Error In First Gear

You have a new vehicle and I am sure it came with an owner's manual. Read it!

According to a post in http://www.dodgeforum.com, the sending unit is probably close to the oil filter, on the side of the engine. The vehicle mentioned in the article, was a 1998 dodge caravan with 3.0 v-6. Probably the 3.3 and 3.8 v-6's are in nearly the same location in relation to the oil filter, as well as the 4-cyl engines.

its on the intake manifold... some vehicles have em then some doesnt, im not sure if yours does or not being a newer like van, im use to the older stuff.

I just finished changing out all 6 spark plugs in a regular (non-Grand) Caravan and didn't find it necessary to remove the alternator, put the vehicle up on ramps, remove the air intake or any other of the suggestions I have come across. A $5 part from any auto parts store will avoid any of the above for access to the odd numbered (rear facing) spark plugs. I used a inexpensive replacement mirror positioned at the firewall to provide a view of the rear plugs. It's flexible, it won't break if you drop it, it's thin so it won't require much room, you can cut it down in size if necessary, and it's disposable so if you scratch it up it's not a issue. I wedged the mirror between the firewall and hoses in the rear of the compartment and had a good view of the plugs. I used a LED shop light for a light source during the evening hours so daylight didn't wash out the light source. I also used a can of compressed air to blow debris out of the plug wells. Since these were the factory plugs I used penetrating oil to loosen the plugs and a 1/4 drive ratchet since it took up less space although a 3/8 drive stubby ratchet would work well also. Remember to be extra careful not to over tighten or cross-thread the new plugs since these are aluminum heads.

You need to BClear. What is wrong with it?

It is a canister free filter located on the top of the engine in a black holder with a hexagon nut cover about the size of a soda can. It is located directly to the left of the plastic cover with 3.6l VVT printed on it.

It depends on the generation of the Dodge Grand Caravan. The second, third, fourth and fifth generation has the 3.8L V6 that puts out 162 hp for 1994-1995, 166 hp for 1996-1997, 180 hp for 1998-2000, 215 hp for 2001-2007, or 197 hp for 2008-2010. All of the engines available for the fifth generation Dodge Grand Caravan were replaced with the 3.6L V6 engine.

The short answer is YOU don't. The smartest thing to do is get the shop manual, read that section, talk yourself out of it, then drop the car off at your local garage and pay a professional. If you're still in a do-it-yourself mood, read on. Jack the car up and support the front end with jackstands. Remove the wheel. Unbolt the brake line bracket from the strut. Remove both of the big nuts/bolts holding the strut to the spindle. Open the hood and remove the 3 bolts from the strut tower. The strut assembly should have fallen out onto the ground. Here's where the fun begins. Use your strut compressor to unload the spring. Remove the big nut on the top and pull off the upper bearing and spring seats. Remove the spring and carefully (carefully! it CAN kill you) set it aside. Reassemble everything in order and reinstall your spring. Use the air ratchet to preload the top nut. Tighten to spec. Release the spring compressor. Put the strut assembly back up the the tower, lining up the 3 boltholes up top. Replace the 3 nuts, tighten to spec. Pull your spindle back up with a c-clamp and install the 2 large nuts/bolts. Tighten to spec. Replace the brake line bracket bolt. Tighten to spec. Carefully drive to the nearest alignment shop because your alignment will be way off. you can take srut assembly out as mentioned above then have auto parts store change struts for you and put back whole strut assembly back in.they charge about$20 for changing each strut and is well worth the job .

Idle is computer controlled and is not adjustable. If the idle is incorrect, you have a computer, sensor, wiring problem.

Turn them counter clockwise with a 15mm wrench.

usually it is located underside of the glove compartment on the interior of the vehicle!

My 97 Voyager has done the same thing. It was control panel programing, the following instructions is how to program your control panel: 1) SET BLOWER ON HIGH 2) SET MODE TO PANEL 3) SET TEMP TO COLD 4) PRESS WASH AND REAR WIPER TOGATHER AND HOLD FOR 5 SEC. IT WILL GO THROUGH A SERIES OF FLASHING, WHEN DONE THE REAR WIPER SHOULD BE THE ONLY ONE FLASHING PRESS REAR WIPER TO EXIT. DO THIS WITH VAN RUNNING. This worked for my 1997 Voyager. I hope it works for yours.

I followed instructions and it worked( 98 VOYAGER ) BUT I MIGHT ADD THIS; you must wait 30-60 seconds for all the lights except the rear wiper light to go out before you hit the rear wiper button.
