Probably listed in your owners manual. Should be in the fuse block under the hood or the one under the dash.

Please be more specific. Don't really understand what "starter contacts" are.

disconnect all fuel lines, vacuum lines, electrical connections at the fuel tank. disconnect the fuel filler tube, then support the fuel tank as it will be heavy, unbolt the fuel tank straps and lower the fuel tank. clean the top of the tank so no dirt falls into the tank. undo the tank unit lock ring and remove the tank unit(fuel pump assembly).

Sounds like there's a leak between the plenum and lower intake. Try spraying starting fluid around the base of the plenum while it's running. If the idle changes you have a leak.

how long has it been since a tune-up was done. you may have bad wires, dirty fuel filter, dirty throttle plate that needs cleaning. you don`t say if the check engine light has been on, check for codes.

get that check its an electrical short some were

Hi Tommy, I'm glad to help! There are only 5 things that can cause brakes to hold: (1) Calipers are sticking. NOTE: There are several reasons calipers stick, there are internally frozen meaning you need new calipers. Here's how to check them release the nut that holds the hose to the caliper when the fluid bleed out and the calipers do not release pressure from the brakes then they are internally frozen, replace them. (2) Hose's are calapsed internally. You check the hoses in the same way, release the bolt and if the calipers DO Release pressure from the brakes then you know it's the hoses. (3) The actual metal lines going to the back of the Vehicle could be damaged. Example: One time one of the rear brakes would not release pressure and I found where the line goes acroos the rear axle something had hit the line and smashed it flat and so it was holding brake pressure on the wheel. (4) Let's not forget how much dirt and grime builds up on the brakes themselves. Example: I found one time where the LANDS where the brake shoes slide were so dirty that the brake pad itself was stuck and holding the brake pressure on that wheel. (5) The Master Cylinder, not very often, but I have seen the ports in the master cylinder clog-up and will not bleed back to release brake pressure. This is a few thing for you to check out that will help you find the problem yourself and save you money. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Tommy.

check fuses for 0/2 sensors. cat monitor takes longer to reset than other monitors.

I am not familiar with the computer codes but I think you can get them from the Internet. The reason I'm responding is that I had trouble with my serpentine belt coming off when water splashed up. It happened 2 times and just wouldn't stay on. I took it into a shop near where it happened the second time - lucky me! - and they replaced the idler pulley saying it happens when it gets worn...over 4 years now and no problems with it to date. It cost me around $100. Good Luck!

Hi Richard, I'm glad to help! Richard, there's a lot of things that can cause one certain cylinder to misfire. I would first: "Replace the Spark Plug and Spark Plug Wire for number 4 and see if the misfire goes away. If it doesn't then you need to do a "Compression Test" for cylinder # 4 and compare it to another cylinder and if its more then 25 Psi difference then you need to do a "Cylinder Leak Down Test" to see where you are loosing the compression. If the compression is good and you have new plug and wire and it still misfires. Then you'll need to check and make sure you have good spark coming from the coil. If you have good spark coming from the coil. Then you'll need to check and make sure the # 4 Injector is firing. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Richard.

Hi Aaron, I'm glad to help! The alternator fuse you are looking for also runs the auto-shut-down relay. NOTE: If your vehicle starts a runs then this fuse is good. If the vehicle will not start and runs then its FUSE 3 a 20 amp fuse inside the power distribution center under the hood. NOTE: Next you'll want to check the FUSEABLE LINK. This link attaches to the battery cable its a big GREEN colored wire. If you can grab the wire and it stratches while your pulling it, then it need to be replaced. CAUTION: If this wire is blown, then you need to replace the alternator as well for a dead short internally. If both of these or good, the only other option would be the Engine Controller. NOTE: Before replacing the Engine Controller, take the alternator off and have it check at the auto-parts-store. Most of the time its the alternator and not the engine controller. Hope this help and have an awesome day Aaron.

go after the P1768 code first. sounds like trans relay is not sending power to the solenoid pack. check fuse #2 {should be a yellow 20 amp fuse} in underhood fuse/relay box. if it's blown it will cause all these codes. the relay is marked EATX and is in the same box as fuse. should be in one of the corners of the box. hope this helps, let me know

My 2000 Caravan developed this problem after our hard winter so I searched and found that tapping the alternator might reveal that the brushes were intermittent. Sure enough, a slight tap caused the charging voltage to come on at around 14 Volts. A new brush assembly was under $10 on eBay and after finally getting the alternator out and the brushes replaced, re-installed all was well!

You have a mode door actuator bad or there is a problem in the control head. U can try to switch the mode door actuator with the temp door actuator to see if is just a actuator problem
