My 2003 dodge grand caravan se with a 3.3l has had intermittent starting problem for 1 and 1/2 years now. Codes p0352 and p0353 have popped a few times. Replaced coil pack, and used electrical grease in connection to make a better circuit. Still have problem. Battery and starter seem fine (cranks good). Sometimes when it has trouble starting, after it finally catches, engine runs slower than normal at first then goes to normal idle speed. Runs ok after does start. Also have whining noise under van (prob. fuel pump), and was wondering if maybe not enough gas getting up front to engine (hence, sometimes runs slower than comes up to idle speed), but not sure because every once in a great while I smell gas up front like it is getting enough. Starting problem happens worse in warm weather. How can I fix this start prob? thanx

A bad earth connection point on my New Zealand model Chrysler Voyager LE (same car as yours but right hand drive) caused similar problems, including the towing thing. My dealer told me that they would be busy for 3 weeks - dealer talk for "we would prefer to sell you a new one".

A bunch of black wires connect to a chassis ground bolt on my model on the right hand side wall, under dashboard height. I was "lucky" to have the fault present when investigating it, and testing I did afterwards proved this to be a definite cause. You have to remove some covers and pull the floor carpet away This may be on the left on your model. A plug in connector is used, to bring multiple wires together at this point. All I had to do was undo the nut and clean the metal of the bolt and earth lug - use a file or sandpaper, and maybe spray on some WD40 or CRC to impove conductivity. I added an extra washer to help the metal to metal bond also.This seems to have fixed the problem. It has been OK now for about 1000 miles. Good luck !

I had the same problem, my mechanic has had this same problem with other 2003 grand caravans. Flush the power steering fluid, replace it with ATF+4 and add Lucas power steering additive. Apparently dodge has posted the fluid that was originally used is causing this problem. $100 and it is purring like a kitten

I would start by inspecting and cleaning the battery terminals.

Sounds like the fuel pump is going out. Its inside the tank. But first see if the fuel pump is clooged. take it off and see if its plugged. Check fuel pressure if you can. should be 45-55 psi
