Many drivers who are in the market for a used Plymouth vehicle want to consider a Certified Pre-Owned, or CPO, vehicle. CPO programs allow owners of used cars to drive with confidence, knowing...
You may have a failing voltage regulator that could be allowing the alternator to supply too much or too little amperage to the battery resulting in the battery never maintaining a consistent charge as it is designed to. The voltage...
Hi there. To be honest, you lost us at swapped ECU twice with junkyard units. The problem with replacing OEM ECU and not having them correctly programmed by the dealership is that any realistic chance of diagnosing a misfire issue...
This sounds like it could be related to the emissions system. Something is overheating. It may not be the engine but a component of the emissions system such as a purge valve. This could prevent flow of the fuel or...
Hi there. We saw your post yesterday and are inclined to provide the same information today. I think you may misunderstand the purpose of this free Ask a Mechanic Q & A. This platform is to provide general automotive repair...
Hello, thank you for writing in. Your head is in the right place. While gas these days is held to some better standards, its very possible to collect debris in the tank over time. Considering the mileage on the vehicle,...
Hi there. If you have not completed this type of job before, I would recommend one of two things. First, purchase a service and repair manual for your 1991 Plymouth Acclaim online; as it will have detailed instructions and what...
Hi there. When this occurs, it's typically due to a coolant line breaking (in most cases, one towards to the top of the motor). This could also be caused by the radiator cap breaking or an overheating problem. Regardless of...
If a fully charged battery is powering a starter motor that is turning the engine over rapidly, at sufficient RPM, but the engine does not catch and run, that means that there is an ignition, fuel, air induction, or mechanical...
This sounds like you may not have any power or intermittent power going to the fuel pump relay. The relay wires should have ground on two wires, power on one wire and switched power on another wire. To activate the...
Hi there. When it comes to the torque on the spark plugs, most spark plugs are tightened to the stopping point and then an 1/8 turn more. If you need the specs of your spark plug, then measure the treads...
The starter case is typically the ground return, so if you attach an appropriate sized ground to the engine block/transmission and body you should be fine. There is a heavy supply wire (positive cable) to a large ring terminal on...
Hello. If there was transmission fluid getting into the cooling system previously then it will take some time to get that oil out. It may take several flushes to clean it as long as there are no other issues. As...
If your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock braking, you have to either bleed the ABS pump and valving (per Factory Service Manual instructions) or use a bi-directional scan tool to remotely actuate the ABS system during brake bleeding. Otherwise, in...
Hi There, It is normal for the whee to lock when the vehicle shuts off as that is a safety mechanism. The more important concern is what is causing the vehicle to stall while driving. This can happen for any...
You should first have the charging system checked to make sure it is not overcharging since these alternators are known to have this problem. If an overvoltage condition is present it could have blown the high beam circuit inside bulb....
Either there is an issue with the brake system or the transmission. If the brake system is free and you can push the vehicle is neutral, then the issue lies with the transmission. The transmission may have a clutch that...
Hello - check first to be sure you have the gear shifter in the "D" position, NOT in the "3" position. This ensure engagement of "Overdrive". Your car has a 4-speed transmission, plus overdrive. If you listen carefully, while accelerating...
Hi There, As you know, there are many places in the cooling system that may be prone to leaks. The water pump may leak from the shaft and where the coolant enters and exits the pump. Any of the radiator...
Hello - no, the motor mount from a '98 will not fit your 1992. The Voyager changed in 1996, with an additional engine choice in '99 - motor mounts also. Motor mounts from a 1991-1995 Voyager (for the same engine)...
Hi There, This is usually a problem with the power window motor, the regulator or the fuse. The power window motor is what actually operates the window up and down when you push the switch. The regulator is what actually...
