I mentioned this in my other thread started on behalf of our wonderful '96 GC! Anyway, I'll get it all fixed up soon.
While it's been laid up and I've been driving my wife's '02 Caravan Sport (3.3L), it developed a miss. I pulled plug wires and found #1 cylinder dead. I pulled the plug and it had something blocking the spark gap so I cleaned & re-installed. No help.
I put in a new set of plugs and checked all the wires with an ohm meter. I cleared all the codes I generated by pulling wires and went for a road test. When the engine is loaded, such as heavy acceleration or a bridge/hill, the check engine symbol blinks. While on level ground and holding your speed, it's off. I've only went about 2-3 miles with it doing this.
Have any of you had this happen before? Maybe I need to drive it farther and see if it codes up. At this point, I'm thinking an injector problem. An electrical/sensor fault should code up pretty quickly and this doesn't.
