One possible cause of a 1996 Dodge Caravan stalling out with no warning is a faulty or malfunctioning oxygen sensor. This sensor monitors the amount of oxygen in the exhaust system and helps the engine adjust the fuel mixture accordingly. If the sensor is not working properly, it can cause the engine to run lean or rich, which can lead to stalling.
Fuel Filter
Another potential cause of this issue is a clogged or dirty fuel filter. This filter is responsible for removing dirt and other contaminants from the fuel before it reaches the engine. If the filter is clogged, it can restrict the flow of fuel to the engine, which can cause it to stall.
Fuel Pump
The fuel pump is responsible for delivering fuel from the fuel tank to the engine. If the fuel pump is failing or has failed, it can cause the engine to stall.
Crankshaft Position Sensor
The crankshaft position sensor monitors the position of the crankshaft and helps the engine control unit (ECU) time the ignition and fuel injection accordingly. If the sensor is not working properly, it can cause the engine to stall.
Other Possible Causes
There are other potential causes of this issue, such as:
* A faulty throttle position sensor
* A malfunctioning ignition module
* A weak or damaged battery
* A problem with the electrical system
* A computer error
If your vehicle is stalling out with no warning, it is important to have it diagnosed and repaired by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible.
