I have a 2002 Chrysler Town & Country...I've had it to a mechanic and a transmission guy and no one is able to tell me what's going on with it. It has a rough idle, cuts off occassionally, when in park/neutral and you rev the motor it pegs at 4,000 and just bounces there. There is also a strong smell of gas. They have given it a tune up, replaced the plugs and wires and now the speed sensor...and still running the same. HELP!!! Transmission guy told me to take it to a mechanic but I did and this guy had it for 2 weeks and said he couldn't figure it out!
