Randomly won't start

Thanks for your reply. No the check engine light is not on and no, when it does not start at all, the engine does not turn over. No sounds, nothing.

JacobandNicolas, I've been looking at other posts in this forum and many other owners have had similar problems with this vehicle randomly not starting, but I have not seen any success stories, as far as any of them finding a solution to this problem. I'll keep looking. Thanks, Robert

After doing extensive research, I think I have finally found an answer to my car problem thanks BTW the crankshaft sensor was bad because I saw oil coming out of it. Once I replaced it all fixed! I love this site.

Hi Guys, I had the same problem and replaced the sensor too all fixed thanks!

I too have a 99 t&c. Its been sitting in my drive for over a yr and a half, I gave up on it after I took it too the dealership for the 10th time they finally found that it may be the SKIM & something else. But it was going to cost me more than the van was worth so I decieded not to get it fixed.I have also heard that replacing the instrument cluster has also fixed the problem.I had posted was the mechanic had said the prob was with the random starting on this form but it was from about a yr and half ago if you can find it?

I had the same problem.
One morning the skim doe's not recognize my key.
I had a few "experts" look into it.
1 said I need a new 700$ part(not the computer), which I can get only from the dealer - "yeh, sure"!
I tried buying some more keys and cutting them, which was not easy as older car models(need special key - I got from ebay 13$, need special code locksmith could get - paid 40$ a key to cut. One dealer wanted 200$ for 1 key!).
Turned out wrong diagnostic.
Eventually I ended up buying a new computer(rebuilt of course).
After checking the dealer 700$ without installation! I found an online store both on ebay and web
www. Autocomputerexchange. Com
i bought for 200$ a computer programmed to my exact car(they require to send the old one after you receive the new).
By the way you could get it for 70$ or so less if you send yours first, it will just take longer of course.
Installation is a peace of cake, but I paid some one 100$ never the less.
Problem solved for me.

Good luck
