1998 Dodge Caravan 131,00 miles
Car towed 4x in 6 mo. Ea time it starts to crank, then dies, depress accelerator, does not help. Dashboard lights all on. If try 2-3x in a row, won't even crank. If wait 1/2 hour - 1 day it will start. Problem always gone by the time mechanic gets car. 1 dealer + 2 repair shops have not found prob. Ignition switch, starter, cam sensor,crank shaft sensor replaced. Body control module checked-ok. Another problem, smell gas after each episode. Also, when key unlocks passenger door, driver door locks. Thought this was screwed up security system-tried not locking doors-still had starting problem. Dealership says no anti-theif. Please help! Running out of friends' cars to borrow.
