If it is not getting spark check your coil.then check inside your cap and see if the metal in it is worn down.

97 dodge caravan 3.3L alternater

sounds like a alternater problem. with car off battery voltage should be at least 12.6 or better. less than 12 volts battery is bad. when running at battery, voltage should be at least 13.5 to 14.2 or better. take negative battery cable off while running, if car dies its the alternater. Good-Day! you can take alt, to any auto parts store to get it tested. advance,auto zone, etc.

My stabilitrak light started going on. I replaced the battery. Today while driving my battery went from 14.6 volts down to 12.5 and then back up. What is going on?

stabilitrac is from balljoints prob on tire rods of sway bar and altonator runs at 14v and batt runs 12. for it to be dropping to 12 you need to run to auto zone n they can check your alt. or while its runnind take your batt post off batt n if it keeps running your alt is good and if it dies out rite away alt has to be changed

Battery,ABS,brake dash are on.when it first happend i could rev the motor and the lights would go out.took alt.out had it tested at auto zone they said it was fine.put alt back in same thing. any info...

test and check battery and or connections to and from alternator also check the connections for the abs sensors may have a loose or damaged connection if looks good than have car scanned for trouble code [even with light out compute still stores code] some auto stores such as auto zone / advanced auto scan for free check ur local area the code will give u a start point towards fixing ur problem good luck

1989 cherokee dies at light

You named the three items I'd look at first. get a manual (chilton or haynes are fine for this) and a digital multimeter. Run the tests on those and likely you will find the problem. You can also remove and clean the IAC valve and passages but do not turn the valve while cleaning or it may not seat correctly.
