Hello,
I have 2 questions.
Question 1
I have a 97 Chrysler Town and Country- At times (not alot), when I am coming up to a stop sign or slowing down, the car can have a tendency to stall. It basically will sit there and act like it will not go when I step on the gas. The RPM will not raise so I know it will not go immediately. If I turn the ignition off for a few seconds, it always starts up and will be OK . For how long until it happens again is anyones guess, sometimes for days or sometimes a few stops down the road. When it happens, the service engine light comes on. Actually, the engine light has been on for a few years because nobody could find out what was wrong. Why the engine light originally came on I am not sure because nothing was noticed the first time it came on.
Anyway, a guy I know has a code thing to check it. When he checked it after it has been on for some time. The code said something about "emissions". He reset it and wanted to check it again after it stalled again in order to get a up to date check. After the engine service was off, it came on again after it stalled. He checked it and it came back with code 171 only "1st bank running lean".
Any idea what this could be or why it is doing this. I have noticed lately that it appears the exhaust is sounds a little different, like there may be a leak somewhere. Nothing big, just noticable. Any help would be appreciated.
Question 2
This same vehicle no longer has a workign air conditioner. When the air or the vent is turned on in general, there is a realy anoying and bad smell coming out of the vents. The air does not even have to be running to smell it. Just happens whenever the vent is open. I have recharged the air before but it never seems to stay. After recharching, the air is somewhat could for a short time but then after some time, just hot air is blowing. Even after recharging completely, their is never a good blast coming and if so, you have to pretty much be driving to get it to work. Thanks for all the help.
Kyle
