FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I WENT TO VISIT MY WIFE AT THE NURSING HOME WHERE SHE IS, AFTER I GOT IN MY VAN TO GO HOME I ONLY MADE IT A COUPLE MILES THE GAUGES WENT GOOFY THEN THE MOTOR QUIT, I HAD NO CLUE A RELATIVE OWNS A WRECKER SERVICE SO HE CAME AND TOWED ME HOME. THE NEXT DAY I TRIED TO START IT BUT NO LUCK, WHEN I FIRST GOT THE VAN IT DID SOMETHING JUST LIKE THIS SO I FIGURED IT COULD BE THE BRAIN SO I GOT ONE AND PUT IT IN, NOTHING SO WHILE TURNING THE ENGINE OVER I DIDN'T HEAR THE FUEL PUMP SO I BOUGHT A REPLACEMENT. AFTER GOING THROUGH ALL OF THAT IT STILL WOULD TURN BUT NOT START A MECHANIC CAME OUT TO LOOK AT IT AND SEE IF HE COULD FIGURE OUT WHY IT DIDN'T START AFTER LOOKING AT IT HE SAID THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE FUEL SHUT OFF RELAY, THAT'S WHERE IT IS,I NEED TO FIND WHERE THE CUTOFF RELAY IS LOCATED SO I CAN RESET IT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
LEAKING FUEL FROM FUEL RAIL IN FRONT OF MANIFOLD. THERE IS A VALID RECALL, YET CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER TOWING VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH FUEL LEAKING ONTO THE ENGINE. I VERY MUCH BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD COVER TOWING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE ENGINE WAS COLD FROM SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY ALL NIGHT. I SMELLED GASOLINE. I OPENED THE HOOD TO FIND GASOLINE SHOOTING OUT OF THE FUEL HOSE RIGHT WHERE IT FITS INTO THE PRESSED CRIMPED METAL CONNECTION. IT WAS SPRAYING GASOLINE ALL OVER THE ENGINE. I TURNED OF THE ENGINE BEFORE IT BECAME HOT. IF THIS LEAK HAD OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING, THE MOTOR WOULD HAVE BEEN HOT, AND CAUGHT FIRE. THE GARAGE REPLACED THE PLENUM GASKET SET, FUEL INJECTION, O RING, AND THE FUEL RAIL. NOTE: THE RECALL #RQ00008 DC MINIVAN FUEL INJECTOR RAIL LEAK WAS DONE.
