I see on this website under questions you have answered, a chart for a 2005 Dodge Caravan for the spark plug wires. I have the van listed above it is a MFI OHV. Would I use the same chart for changing the wires? I already took off the old wires, but did not know that I should have done them one at a time, or that the order mattered. So I am looking for the right order.

There should be codes I would expect in the pcm to give some insight to this. It may be transmission related, restriction in the converter are the two first things that I think of.

You can 100% sure on the compliancy, there is probably a cummunication error, start with the simple thing and check the fuse for the data link connector.

Doug, I was mistaken, according to the diagram it goes right into the ecm. There is a communication problem by the description, is the connector good?

I was off base on that one.

I wouldn't know how to check, I know I unplugged it and plugged I back in and wiggled it around. Could it be the scanner or just having a fit? You would think it would work, especially since there is a MIL on?

Best I can say it try the scanner on another car, if it works, then contact the scanner manufacturer for insight.
