Engine is stalling out while driving

I replaced the alternator with a used one about 5 months ago and had a new battery put in at the same time. Yes the check engine light is on.I thought that was due to the transmission.I can take them to get checked. When the engine shifts down is when it tries to die or does die. The speedometer drops down before it does. Sometimes I can put it in Neutral and press on gas then I put it back in drive and it will catch.

Okay no problem.I'll get back to you soon. Thank you for your quick response and help.

This vehicle just shut off going down the road. Fuel pumps working, starter works, put new coil. Getting fire to coil but no fire to spark plugs. What is going on?

The engine does fine but quits every now and then. Some times a lot and some time it will drive for a few miles just fine. My catalitc converter is shot but I think maybe I have a fuel module or simular problem. The service engine light came on over a year ago but I am in bankruptcy and am disabled and cant afford to get it fixed.

My 1997 Dodge Sport Caravan with 151,000 miles, stalls repeatedly when it is cold out, when you are slowing down, whether on the highway or at stop light/sign or when going under 10 mph in traffic or when slowing down to turn a corner. The engine will also occasionally race or buck forward, usually while traveling at around 45 mph. I have had it serviced by a local mechanic for many years and they are unable to locate the problem. It's had a tune up, the timing has been checked, the Cam Sensor and Crank Sensor have been replaced and then retested using a computer - no code came up to reveal an error. In addition, the gas tank has been flushed out and the fuel line, and fuel pump replaced. The car drove in a 24 hour period ok, but then started stalling again. The mechanic believes something is touching the crank sensor which they have replaced twice. They noticed after installing the crank sensor that after driving it, instead of the 30,000 of inch gap, there was a larger gap which suggested something was touching the crank sensor. I have had the computer replaced twice so I am not interested in replacing it again. Any thoughts?

After running AC for 5 minutes or more the engine shuts off. After apox. 30 minutes the engine will re-start. Problem only occurs when running AC-Temp guage reads normal, all other electrical system functions work normally, only the engine will not work. It cranks but will not catch. Any directions or ideas greatly appreciated.

I have a 97 Dodge Caravan, 83,000 miles, that had an engine tune-up and transmission rebuilt within the last year and a half. 3 months ago, the car started stalling every once in awhile, sometimes while stopped and sometimes while driving at low speeds, and the engine cut out once in awhile. The problems have gotten progressively worse. Now, the engine has a really hard time staying in gear, especially on the highway and the vehicle stalls all the time. Today, the "Service Engine Soon" light came on. The engine always urns when starting the car up or immediately after it stalls, but I have to press the accelerator for a minute or two in order to get it to start running. It seems like the car has a hard time staying running and staying in gear. Can you offer any advice?

Thanks in advance!

I had the computer scanned and a lot of codes printed out. The "Service Engine Soon" light came on 2 days ago, although the car has been having this problem for months. The codes say: "Man. Absolute pressure/BARO or MAF(Mass Air Low) Sensor condition". The 2nd code says "Vacuum hose off, cracked or passage blocked-Engine mechanical timing condition". 3rd code "Throttle body intake tube loose, off, or cracked". 4th code "BARO (barometer)/MAP defective". 5th code "VAF (van Air flow) MAF (mass air flow) sensor dirty or defective". The man at the part store said that I would most likely need a new MAP Sensor and/or new Idle Air Control Valve.

What do you think?

A while back, me and my buddies decided on removing the whole dashboard to paint it. When putting it back together, I started noticing that certain lights would turn on. After a while, they would turn off. The van ran well regardless. Later on, the van would stop running. It would ignite normal and then the motor would just turn off. I notice when this happens, the odometer and the gear indicator (both are digital) would not function. After banging on the dashboard a couple of times, the odometer and the gear indicator would turn on and the van would then start normal. Other times, this would occur during driving. All warning lights would turn on while the fuel indicator, odometer, tachometer, speedometer, etc. Would stop working. What could be the problem?

From what I understand, no. The only thing removed was the instrument cluster in order to paint the cover of the gauges
