Shakes or Wobbles problem
1996 Plymouth Voyager Two Wheel Drive Automatic 178951 miles

ok my van got wrecked on the drivers side which bent my gas tanka little (its a little complicated to put gas) well after I wrecked it the gas cap wouldnt go on so I drove it with a rag in it till I fixed it. In the process of waiting it rained one night which water got in my tank not thinking about it I still drove it. Well one night I was driving and it got jumpy and my engine knocked about 8 times and just died. When I got it to cool down just a litle it would start for a few seconds and knock again so I talked to a friend he suggested getting "Heet / 12 oz. ISO gas dryer and antifreeze " and so I did and it didnt do much so I replaces the fuel injector line, oxygen sensor, and upgraded the gas to primium. That happened about 3 months ago and yesterday it happened again it just started puttering and knocking and turned off. So I added a gas cleaner and let it cool down and it started after a hour and has ran since today mid day it knocked turned off and I let it sit and it turned back on. But I noticed when it starts to knock I put it in nutural and reved up the engine and it wanted to pop something out the muffler like it is clogged somewhere but I dont nkow where I checked the water its fine the oil is good what do I look for now

Hi there,

I would first change the fuel filter and I would cut open the old one and check to see how much muck is in it, start here.

I am thinking that you still have a tank with water and muck in the bottom and as it gets stirred up it has slowly been clogging the new filter.

Just do a filter change and cut open the old filter, we know it has been only on a short time so it should be quite clean, if it is really dirty and blocked, we will know that the problem will be contaminated fuel.
