When I started my van yesterday morning, felt a vibration, which continued for a while. As I drove on it was smooth again. But whenever I slowed down to probably the 1 gear, the vibrations started again.
Like it was running out of gas or something. I have run the van for about 30kms and now I have noticed a sulphur burning smell inside of the cabin. The engine warning indicator is constantly on.
I know I've got to take it into a Dodge repair shop soon, but would like to have a fair idea of where the problem might be. Will appreciate any help as I would be stranded without my ride.
Thanks

With the check engine lamp on you have made a wise decision. Any number of fuel management sensors, and PCM responses may have failed, causing a lean or rich condition. That is why your smelling strange smells. A sulpher like smell is usually from the battery but it can be from many other parts also. Smart to have it serviced by a dealer. Factory training for a particular car is best. Ok
