| Stalls when gets warm. abs braking light comes on every now and then. i was rolling up window it has electric and window shattered in side door. i have put a new module in and a newrotor cap and the new coil. the old coil caught on fire when the van stalled on me. now it has no spark. i had it in sadlers motors and they told me the module was bad. i put it in. it studders going down the road when it gets warm gas quit coming out of injectors then when i put module on injectors work now i was wondering if there was recalls on any of that stuff i baught the van used. warranty doesn't cover any of this. they said the warranty was in with the price of the van but to find out they charged us for the warranty. somtimes when we hit a bump it has a rattling noise from rear; it sounds like from front somtimes. | |||
