Our van is progressively getting worse about having a power blink. Power goes off guages start to zero out and power returns and engine starts right back like it had a miss. Started months ago and didn't happen for several months. Now it is occuring like evrey third time we drive it. It also will stall at initial start, then restart. Don't know if this is related. Other forums talk of chasing similar problems through thousands of dollars. We have no interest in being such a victim. Have any sugestions?

No computer readouts are generated. The check engine light doesn't appear. The dealer had the car for a day and said they couldn't get the vehicle to act up? They didn't charge for the attempts and I stopped at a parts store got a tube of electrical grease. I pulled the breakers cleaned spades greased them and reassembled. I turned the PDC over and pulled all connections and greased and reassembled. Pulled connections from computer and greased and reassembled. Pulled the cam position reader greased and assembled. Recleaned battery posts and block ground. So far no more more power blinks. Will post if problem re-occurs. Thanks for your site. It gave me a starting spot- more than I had and saved me mega bucks!
