Why does my van keep dying on me?

Question

My van is a 95 plymouth voyager. If it does not sit and warm up for at least 20 minutes, it won't run. It will die and you can't get it to start again. If you can get it to run long enough to get it on the road, it will die the first time you let off the gas to hit the brake. To restart it, you have to keep your foot on the gas and it is fuel injection! What is causing this and how do I fix it? I thought that it was bad gas about a month ago. Then I thought that it was just cold natured. It is becoming clear that I am way off the mark.

Answer 1

>A '95 Voyager??...it has died...you are just in denial.<

Answer 2

You may not be so far off the mark. If you had bad gas before, you fuel filter may be clogged. It sounds as if it is starving for fuel. Maybe it is a problem with a fuel sensor, or any other electronic device. Start with the simplest thing first. Change your fuel filter. Put a can of fuel injector cleaner in you tank. If that does not work, take it to a garage and be prepared to spend a lot of money (fuel pump and/or god only knows)

Answer 3

Our van was doing the same thing. Our mechanic told us to add 2 bottles of that gas treatment to a tank of gas. It is like a new vehicle. No more dying in traffic, sputtering and coughing, etc. It only cost us $2.00! You might try this first. Can't hurt.

Answer 4

sounds like fuel pressure problems . possible fuel filter clogged or fuel pump not putting out enough pressure to keep it running.
have the pressure checked at the fuel rail .

Answer 5

Check your distributor cap. Remove it and look inside. I bet the darn thing is missing the centre carbon electrode.

Answer 6

Try cleaning the throttle body.
