2002 T&C 3.8L will shut off while driving with no warning. Pull off the road and turn the key off and tried to start it again. Dash lights come on but no sound from the fuel pump or from the starter (no clicking either). Waited for a few minutes to gather my thoughts and try to start the car again and it fires right up. No codes or problems the rest of the day. Had the battery and alternator tested. Any ideas as to where the issue might be anyone??
Appreciate any help at all!!

 

Read the many recent posts on this one...

I did read them. The vehicle/engine/symptoms were not the same so I posted this thread.

 

Doubtful you'll find any that are identical for many problems. As long as it's the same generation van, in your case 4th 2001-2007, a 3.8 or 3.3 ltr engine, and the symptom includes stalling at speed, the thread is worth a look.

Very likely related to the IPM (fuse box). It's a known corrosion magnet. Inspect connections for corrosion/damage. Clean with contact cleaner. Remove and disassemble it and inspect internal circuit boards for corrosion/damage.

Did you check codes with a scanner? No pending codes? 01-04 vans are afflicted a problem prone wire harness routed too close to the exhaust manifold around the backside of the engine. Wire insulation melts and wires short together. Usually associated with engine fuel injectors and misfires etc it may be worth a look anyway because the MAP sensor wires run in the same bundle and that can kill the engine.

 

Okay now I have a starting point. This will give me something to do this weekend. Thank You Raptor.
