Went to start, and it was a no-go. Checked spark, and charge. Then checked for fuel pump prime when key is turned in aux position (you can hear it if you listen close for about 2 sec after turning the key). There was nothing. After checking the FPR, pulled the tank and the fuel pump assy, been working great ever since.

NOTE Be careful about who you buy these fuel pump assemblies from. (ebay/Amazon) The cheap knock offs may not come with a fuel strainer, and I can tell you that normal part stores do not have them. Some say you can run withouto them, but the pump I pulled had one on it...

Imagine coming home from Raleigh N.C. to Ontario, Canada on a friday night and at about 8:00 PM your van starts to shudder violently and then comes to a rolling stop, no brakes and no power steering! This is in the Virginias south of the tunnels, strange territory to me. Well after a harsh chewing out from a female trooper for walking on the interstate and a cold nights sleep in a dive and 3 tows totalling 360.00 I arrive in Beckley at 1:30 on Saturday, quite not impressed.!! This is the third garage and a few bucks later,and finally a mechanic with a proper scanner to diagnose the problem! Being a mech. myself, I had a few ideas as to what was going on but no way to be sure. Dave from Beckley Va., I thank you ever so much for getting me going, a faulty fuel pump, at 72000 kms.,could not believe it! But, this pump cost me 3 days pay, 4 nights in a motel, food, towing and a lot of stress, almost enough to sue Chrysler for!

This is the fourth complaint I have entered here and all different problems, 2 brake problems, tie rod ends and the fuel pump. Do you think I should be buying another Dodge Caravan? I love them but I am finding it hard to bite into another one.
