Crysler voyager -95 3.3l Backfiring in aircleaner ,New info!!
Today i discovered that i by pressing the throttle several times could
get the car to accelerate fully without bacfiring in the aircleaner. It worked fine several times. If i press the trottle only one time it still backfires. Does that help anyone to get a bright solution to my problem???. Janne S |

If you vehicle is due for plugs and wires do it now, that may take care of

If i press the trottle only one time it > still backfires. > > Does that help anyone to get a bright solution to my problem???. > Janne S Hey Janne, What you have described so far isn't possible. Here's what I'm hearing you say: 1) Backfiring at part throttle, not full throttle. 2) Ignition system completely checked out with a friend's scope and timing is correct and all parts of ignition system have been replaced 3) Car completely within emissions. In short, this isn't possible. So, let's go back to the beginning and start over. If this was a spark plug/secondary ignition problem (bad coil, crossed wires, etc.) then the misfiring/backfiring would get worse the higher the rpm. If this was a spark primary ignition problem (ie: timing) then the friend and his scope would have caught it. If this was a restricted fuel filter or bad fuel pump then the higher the rpm the worse the problem. If this was a compression problem it wouldn't be backfiring. If this was a fuel problem then the emissions would be out of wack. So I have to conclude that your testing methodology is flawed. If you are absolutely positively positive that the timing is perfect and the ignition system is perfect - which means your friend and his scope tested it out correctly - then the problem is in the fuel system, specifically the engine is running too lean - which means that the HC would be high and the CO way low - which means the emissions would be off. In short, you cannot have it both ways. You cannot have a perfect emissions report AND a perfect checkout with your friend and his scope, and still have this problem. One of them has to be wrong. Off the cuff the most likely candidate is bad timing at part throttle, OR too lean condition at part throttle. However both the timing and the mixture are computer controlled. There is an old saying with computers, garbage-in, garbage-out. I think the likeliest problem here is you have one or more bad sensors feeding into the computer. The fact as you say that sometimes it runs fine is even more an indication that it's a sensor-to-computer problem. Maybe a bad sensor that with the vibration occasionally "heals" Some would say that if it's a bad sensor that the computer would set a code. Well I have a '95 T&C with a 3.8 and when I bought it 3 years ago used, the EGR valve was shot, and the van wouldn't pass emissions, and there was NO CODE set. PERIOD. Replacing the EGR valve dropped the NoX down and it passed emissions. So don't argue with me and tell me that the computer in these things is smart enough to detect if a sensor is shot. I know from experience this is just wishful thinking. Sometimes sensors will fail in such a way that the computer cannot figure out that they are bad. For example, your TPS could have worn out the middle of it's slide and the computer not know where the throttle is, fuel mix is going to be wrong, then. Car computers are notorious for saying one part is bad when it's another part entirely. You say you have already shotgun the ignition system components. Well fine, great, quite replacing them. Or better yet keep replacing them and send me your old ones because they aren't broken. It's time you put a scan tool on this vehicle, or pay someone to do it. If you really want to do it yourself, you can buy an OTC Monitor 4000E off Ebay pretty cheap that will do this. You need to scan it and run the engine and make sure your actually getting valid inputs from all the sensors. You need to check timing with a timing light - yes I know the factory manual says timing is non-adjustable, but a timing light and degree wheel on the crank still work. The cam chain could have jumped a tooth and that is going to shift timing out of wack. You need to put a fuel pressure guage on the fuel rail and test that. In short, you are past the stage of being able to fix it with a $39.99 on-sale Sears Craftsman wrench set, a Haynes manual, and a bucket of miscellaneous screwdrivers. You are either going to have to go out and buy the tools (and documentation, like the Factory Service Manaul) to troubleshoot it properly or pay someone who has the tools to do it correctly. Ted |

This kind of reminds me of a weird one I had a few years ago. Intermit no
power, pops back thru intake, didn't run worth a **** at part throttle and may even die at times. No codes were present. Finally caught it acting up and it was the crank position sensor. Never came back for that problem after replacing it.

THat's right. Damn near forgot I had the same thing happen to my 93 I had.
