The ECU should be checked last, It is very expensive. Try checking the ignition coil for #1 cylinder first, its a lot cheaper. Also check all of the wiring harness connections to the coils, also check the crankshaft trigger (crank sensor). The ECU very rarely goes bad, Check the cheapest components first.

(Understand that mechanics & garages often have high overhead which causes some diagnoses to say thing that will bring in sufficient monies to keep the mechanic or garage in business.)
I should try a few items before replacing the computer.
Your T & C has a coil pack to provide the spark for the plugs.
It is at t the other end of the ignition wires than the spark plug.
I would try a new coil pack and a new # 1 spark plug wire (or a set if you wish) first.
God bless your efforts.

Your fuel consumption will be high and if you keep driving it, you will end up needing a new catalytic converter very soon. I would have the coil module tested.

SOURCE: changing fuel filter on 2004 chrysler town and country

  1. Remove or disconnect the following:
    • Negative battery cable
  2. Raise the vehicle and support the fuel tank with a transmission jack.
    • Fuel line from the front of the tank
    • Ground strap
    • Inboard side of the fuel tank straps and front T strap fastener and lower the tank about 6 inches
    • Fuel lines from the fuel pump module
    • Fuel filter
  3. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten the fuel filter bolts to 40 inch lbs. (4.5 Nm), the main tank straps to 40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm) and the T strap to 250 inch lbs. (28 Nm).
  4. Start the engine and check for leaks.

1996 Chrysler Town and Country Mini van, 3.3L engine. The van cut off. I got a code P0300 P0352. I replaced the ignition coil. Now it's running but cylinders 2 and 5 are not firing.

You can see the ground wire for cylinders two and 5, it's the driver. Might be something wrong with wire connector--wire circuit--or pcm driver has a problem? Just a thought.

My sisters 01 town&country engine light comes on auto store says #5 miss fire so changed all plugs they looked good has new wires nd since only one cylinder miss fire auto store says its mostlikely not...

An auto parts store does not give out advise

They are parts counter sales people-- not mechanics

Spark plugs seldom fail in your lifetime, so you need to
check for vacuum leaks at O2 Sensors,Exhaust leaks,Vacuum leaks
in inlet ducting ,pcv vacuum leaks,egr system issues

Check & listen to hear if injector all click & have same resistance

An OBD Codes for a cylinder doesn't have to be correct

You have mechanical integrity also

You don't have the tools to test as needed I don't suspect
or you could check cyl contribution,fuel trim,fuel press,cyl misfire
counts,O2 switching times,etc

No turn signals on 1996 Chrysler town & country but 4 way flashers work?

The turn signal flasher is worn out. The turn signals have their own flasher. It is usually on the drivers side of the vehicle under the dashboard. It is normally a cylinder about 1 inch in diameter and 1inch tall that has two prongs on it. My advice would be to go to the parts store and get a new turn signal flasher for your car. Look for something under the dash that looks like it and exchange them.
