I agree with the other two posters. I do not think a weak alternator would make the van run rough. You should be able to run on the battery alone, assuming it has a good charge. If you already replaced the plugs and wires, I would look for cracked/leaking vacuum hoses. I would be careful pulling plug wires. Dumping unburned fuel into the exhaust is a good way to shorten ...

I doubt the alternator is causing it to run rough. If you have two weak cylinders, this is not caused by the alternator. With the engine light on, that means there are codes. I'd have the codes read and go from there. Read More...

thanks for the advice I did pull the wires off one at a time at the ignition coil....and there were 2 that weren't sparking strong like the others I also disconnected the battery while the van was running...and the engine would die...and I hear a loud noise coming from he alternator area...so I do believe I have an alternator going bad too Read More...

No, not unless your battery was VERY low, and in that case you would not be able to start it long before it runs out of enough juice to power the park plugs. You may have a vacuum or fuel supply problem that is causing the rough operation. Find out the code(s) in the system by using a reader - that may give you a good idea of where to start. In general, I would check my compression ... Read More...

Town and Country Front End Clunking Noise

Written by: 48fatherof5 on Mar 16, 2009 09:33 AM

I have a 2001 T & C Limited 3.8 engine with 110K miles. For about the last 15K miles, I have been hearing a clunking noise at low speeds when the vehicle hits bumps on the passenger side. I took it to Chrysler dealer initially and they could not ID cause. As it has gotten worse, I got a diagnosis of struts. I proceeded last week to replace both front struts: no help. Then ...

Re: 2001 Chrysler Town & Country - Cabin Heat Issue - Eng Temp Gage Issue [chaz6]

Written by: tedebear on Feb 07, 2008 02:28 PM

It sounds like a stuck thermostat to me. When it first takes a long time for the temp gauge to rise and then you say it shoots way up, that indicates to me that the thermostat suddenly opens and lets all that trapped hot antifreeze through. The fact that the heat only works at higher speed might mean that there are clogged passages and you're only getting effective ... Read More...
