1998 dodge ram van it starts fine but when you put it in drive or reverse and start to drive it stalls out now you had just replace the plugs and air filter what would be wrong with it?

My 96 Van was doing the exact same thing. I had the van in to do some work prior to setting it up to tow a trailer when it was discovered the engine mounts and transmission mounts were nearly tore apart. The engine was just resting on them. I never gave it any thought until a few days after they were replaced that it stopped stalling when I put it in gear. Hope it helps.

Why does my 6-cylinder Dodge Ram Van oil pressure light come on or flicker and pressure gauage shows a drop but van does not turn of and the pessure goes back to normal?

My oil light flickered until the engine failed at 75,000 miles. Check the oil pump. Some one else wrote:

oil pump went out around 30,000 miles. The oil light came on every time I turned to the right. After checking the oil level and finding it full, I took it to the dealer. They said all was fine, but after the engine started knocking, they replaced the oil pump. Around 50,000 miles the light started coming on again, the pressure would drop to zero, but after a few minutes come back up. I replaced the oil sending unit and that worked for awhile. At 70,000 the AC went out. At 90,000 the AC went out again. Now I have just replaced the oil pump again last week and the oil light is coming on again.

Where can I find a picture of how to install a new radio in a 1993 Dodge RAM Custom VAN?

Unscrew all the little screws along the dash, including the one by the door and under the glove box lid. Pop it out and rotate it up. Radio is held in by 5/16" screws.

How do you install windshield in 1992 Dodge Ram Van?

Have a shop do it. Trust me. People who spend their entire life working on these vans ("Vanners") will do engine swaps on their own, do their own 4x4 upgrades, swap Dodge parts onto Fords.... but they still have a shop install their windshields.

Your coil keeps going out on your 2000 safarie van?

I have not worked on your particular vehicle, but repeated coil failure is a problem pretty much generic to all vehicles which use them. I have to assume you are refering to the IGNITION coil. Let's begin by discussing the way an ignition coil operates, which will allow an understanding of modes of failure. The purpose of a coil is to use 12 vold DC current, and to convert it to pulses of extremely high voltage [THOUSANDS], which then causes the sparkplugs to "fire." The coil, as the name implies, consists of two coils of copper wire, wound one around the other. In operation, electricity is allowed to flow through one of the coils [called the "primary"]. At the proper time, the points [older vehicles], or the ignition computer [newer], cuts off the current flow in the primary coil winding. While the current is flowing, a magnetic field engulfs the other coil winding[secondary], which at the right time and through the distributor, supplies extremely high voltage to the spark plugs. When the flow current in the primary stops, the electric field collapses. The collapse of the field, by induction, causes an extremely high voltage pulse to be generated in the secondary winding, which is then delivered to the proper spark plug via the distributor. So called "burnout" of a coil usually is caused by one or more of the fine wires in either of the windings "opening" up, which means the wire is broken or melted ["burned"] in two, so that it cannot allow the current flow. Similarly, a burnout involving a short circuit contact between conductors will result in "welding" of some of the wires, resulting in a permanent short. Neither of these conditions is repairable, and the coil must be replaced. Repeated coil failures in the same vehicle generally are mostly in the primary winding. Such failures should not be a regularly recurring event. Therefore, if it has happened several times in the same vehicle, something, other than a defective coil, is probably responsible. A defective coil IS possible, but SEVERAL in a row is NOT probable. I am not familiar with the newer vehicles, but most of the older ones, have big resistors [a white ceramic block about 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch by 1 to 3 inches long]. These are called "ignition resistors," and are installed, generally on the firewall or on or near the coil, in the hot wire to the coil. The resistor limits [resists] the amount of current which passes through the primary winding of the coil, thus "protecting" it, and reducing the conditions which lead to burn out. There is no similar protection for the secondary. I can only speculate, BUT it appears that some fault in the wiring circuit supplying current to the coil is responsible for the failure of the primary. This is where you should check out all of the circuit components, ensuring that everything is within the specification limits set by the vehicle manufacturer. I wish I could be of more direct assistance, but this project is definitely "hands on." Good luck.

Where do you add power steering fluid on a 1986 Dodge 150 Ram Van with a 5.2 liter engine?

Get a funnel with a long, flexible tube attached (I made my own for this purpose). The power steering pump is low in the engine compartment on the left side of the engine (driver's side) on the front, under the water pump and air pump.

How do you you change vauxhall tigra front pads?

Brake pad changing is important in maintaining a car. A person lifts the car, removes the tire, brake shoe and old brake pad. Next put the new brake pad , put the brake shoe and tire back in their place, and lower the car.

Where can you get a vacuum diagram for a 1989 Dodge van 2500 Ram?

Vacuum diagram for the emission control system is located on the under side of the hood on the passenger side. For a more complete diagram, you may try vehicle repair books (such as "Motors Manual" in the library).

What would be leaking from the cooling system under the dashboard passenger side on a 1999 Dodge Ram Van?

Your Heater Core Sounds Like. heater core Another answer== Water from condensation when using the AC, or coolant from the engine cooling system. Test to tell: if it smells like antifreeze, the heater core is leaking. No smell or just smells wet, it it condensate and a drain line is plugged or blocked causing the water to back up into the passenger compartment.

How do you take the fan off of a 1998 dodge ram 1500?

You need a 36 mm wrench and a spanner to hold the pulley. Turn counter clockwise to loosen.

Why would a 2001 Izusu Rodeo jerk in gear and make a sound but then run fine for a few days after your restart it and also sometimes stall while stopped?

I had the same problem in my 98' rodeo and the tube running to the EGR valve was clogged, taking the EGR valve off and spraying carb cleaner down the tube unclogged it and it fixed the problem

How do you replace speedometer cable 1996 dodge 2500 van?

Check to see if it has one. You may find that it is all electrical. I did.

Where is fuel pump in 1973 Dodge 318 in a winnebago motorhome?
