For what it’s worth, I believe all of those codes affect the EVAP system, and thus shouldn’t directly correlate with any of the symptoms you have described. As stated before, this seems to be indicative of a larger problem. I would suggest pulling a plug to look at the running condition of the engine, listening around for vacuum leaks, as well as checking your transmission fluid. That’s usually a decent place to start for a DIY’er. The fact that you’re not retrieving any codes for the plethora of sensors that contribute to a healthy engine doesn’t rule them out as culprits, either. If possible, take it back to your mechanic and have him connect it to a scanner to have a look at real-time data. Without more info, it’s really difficult to track down problems unless you’re very experienced and there in person, or just reeeeaally lucky.

P.S. People have had luck fixing those codes by replacing their gas cap, purge solenoid or evap canister. Seems like you have more serious problems to concern yourself with though! 😀
Sorry for the late reply guys, been quite busy the last week or so. I was messing with something else in the van, can’t quite remember what, and just happened to notice that the airbox wasn’t completely fastened shut, due to a small plastic deal that was broken on the box. Fastened the box down and have been unable to replicate the problem since. (Pirate air, as ETCG calls it?) If it comes back I’ll drop by again.
Thanks

Well, replaced it :cheer: Didn’t have the widest selection of tools to work with, so it was a bit tedious. Seems to be running fine though, no hesitation or stalling. Seems to be a bit more perky, but that could be psychological. Did the math and the whole ordeal cost only about $225, which imo is pretty good for a new pump, plugs, fuel filter and o2 sensor. I’m happy! I’ll come back after a few days and update on how it’s running. Thanks for all the replies guys, really appreciate it.

Fuel pump just went out. Yay get to drop the tank! Had this strange feeling it was weakening but local guys told me that wasn’t likely. Anyways thanks for the help. If it’s not fixed after I replace the pump I’ll return!

I just realized I left that bit of info out and was coming back to edit. 😆 The check engine light is not on (although it was coming on intermittently about a month ago), and I am taking it to my local parts store for a reading tomorrow. I do know that there are certain Chryslers (and by extension Dodges) that can be made to blink out engine codes thru the check engine light when the key is turned in sequence. Using that method I pulled a code for an EGR valve that wasn’t detected as changing air/fuel ratio. That was the only code, and was erased when at some point I disconnected the battery, and has not returned. Will return with more info on codes in the coming hours. I will also scrutinize the wiring harness tomorrow, but I have inspected the engine and surrounding components and have not seen any glaring faults.
Thanks
