98 T&C Nightmare / Help much appreciated
98 Chrysler Town & Country 3.8 L Lxi with 113,000 miles
The problem started out as a surge/jerk at highway speeds. We had issue with the battery about the same time which turned out to be a bad cell. The surging/jerking got worse then the engine stalled and would not restart until it cooled down. Then it would barely run when you give it any throttle trying to accelerate it just jerks real bad. Our local mechanic has received several different codes and changed the camshaft position sensor, idle air control motor, crankshaft position sensor, a coil pack, camshaft position sensor again (thinking the first one was bad) and finally replaced the computer. It is still doing the same thing most of the time it is ok until the engine heats up then the problem starts happening. The service manager and the owner of the shop said they have spent hours upon hours testing wires and such and running scans and are stumped and don't know what to do. It has been there for a month and my wife really needs it. If anyone has experienced these same problems or can offer any advice PLEASE RESPOND. Myself, my wife and my repair shop would really appreciate it.
