In this video I have a look at a ladies Chrysler Town and Country that has the big 4.0 in it. Her complaint was that it is hard to get it started and when you do it smells really strong of gas. It also has an engine light on with a ton of codes. Let's have a look.

Going to guess N/L = no leak. I bet this lady was happy the fix was relatively inexpensive. Great job as usual Mr. O!

This is the highest value channel I've yet to run across. Not only do I learn from your problem solving logic and your parts/procedures tips, but you also manage to explain what components are involved and how they interact. It's been a long time since I turned a wrench, but it is still really enjoyable to watch your process.

I had a long crank and smell of gasoline so strong that I got out and looked under the vehicle. My wife had run over a tree limb in the driveway and cracked the plastic fuel line. That also explained the fuel gauge dropping so fast.

I once encountered this condition on a 1991 Tacoma with a small head gasket leak. The coolant temperature sensor was at the high point in the engine and when it developed a coolant bubble around the sensor, it would stick in cold start mode.

@jeffberg8015 10 месяцев назад

It looks like the owner of that car is in a position where she needs to squeeze every penny of use from it. I wish her luck. At least these repairs were relatively minor.

yeah I have an 06 T&C, they are money pits. the interior is now falling apart. egr valve is crap on the 3.8, I've replaced it 2x. I've fixed thermostat leaks, radiator leaks, alternator, distributer unit and wires, etc, etc, etc. this T&C is the main reason I bought a XTools D7 scanner. i put more hours into T&C than I do my 3 other cars combined. finally have enough money to replace it altogether.

@daddyphatsax304 10 месяцев назад

That ESIM switch connector is the exact same as the 6.6 Duramax fuel injectors which have a constant failure at teh corner cylinders. You can get those for cents on the dollar from amazon. Those connectors (oem and amazon) are a tyco clone...ordering the actual tyco terminals is the long term fix...because ive even had them fail soon after replacement with the cheap oem and the amazon pigtails. If you ever have one of each side by side....brand new the tyco has an incredible amount of tension compared to the others.

@daddyphatsax304 10 месяцев назад

Also...are the 4.0 and the 3.6 the same block just different bore/stroke?? I swear I have changed that exact sensor but don't recall ever working on the 4.0....but have worked on more 3.6's than one person should.

@gonesideways6621 10 месяцев назад

Tool & Die maker for 30 years with AMP/Tyco the test we used was insertion & extraction can't remember numerical range but they were tested hundreds of times in lab to see if they were in the correct value range. Cheap knock-offs from offshore fail almost immediately.

@grantmclaren3626 10 месяцев назад

Its smart enough to know there is a problem with coolant temp sensor ............but not smart enough to NOT use it for for its fueling strategy, unless it goes open circuit then it substitutes a value. Great video as always thanks very much

@NBSV1 10 месяцев назад

Yep. It’s odd they haven’t gotten around to making it smart enough to ignore the sensor when it gets enough outside the window to set the code.

About ordering parts, I sometimes had to look up numbers and order by manufacturer part number to get parts that were "not listed" at the parts store. When you're dealing with a mid-year revision, you sometimes have to order the previous or following MY to get the right part.

I have a 2012 Just Empty Every Pocket, 3.6L Pentastar engine. The rattle I just fixed with mine was the water pump. It has 105k on the odometer, so it also got a new belt per maintenance schedule. I know about the predecessor 3.7L V6 issues and nothing about 4.0L V6 issues, but the 3.6L Pentastar is a solid running engine. It is just annoying to work on sometimes and engineering could've used much better parts. An oil filter assembly housing made of plastic? 🤦‍♂️

Had a 6.4 powerstroke come in with a complaint of when towing the temp gauge would suddenly peg hot and start defueling. The coolant temp sensor had a bad spot and anything over normal non loaded temp would read full hot, worked fine from cold up to that spot.
