Engine doesn't run. Suspect fuel issue. 2005 Grand Caravan.

Started engine and it ran at about 600 rpm for 3 minutes before stalling and now it doesn't start at all. when it did run I floored the gas and absolutely no response, engine did NOT rev up. Checked codes with turning key on-off sequence and I got 10 flashes of the engine light. Had an OBD ii code reader but gave no codes. Any ideas before I have it towed to the garage?

No codes, but it was communicating? If no codes, it could be fuel pump. Have the fuel pressure checked. Do you hear it turn on for a couple of seconds, with key in on, not start? It should turn on briefly to pressurize the fuel lines and system. With key on, pressure should be pretty high, usually about 50 psi for MPFI.

Looks like your fuel supply line has got chocked. This happens when the dirt from the gas tank comes into the fuel line when the tank is getting empty as it has happened in your case. Check your fuel filter and replace if required.

Yes, the chip in the key is not programmed to the computer for some reason. May have to take to dealer to fix this problem. The anti theft light coming on is a bad sign, where, for security reasons, if the key doesn't match up with what the antitheft computer expects, then the car's engine shouldn't work.

Vehicle unused with dead battery for 6 months will start but not maintain idle

The automatic idle speed control system has lost its adaptive idle learning due to the dead battery. To help to correct this in the short term run the engine at 2000 RPM until warm, then back down to 1500 RPM for 3 minutes, then 1000 RPM for 3 minutes, then let it idle for 5 minutes, this should get the system to a point in the idle learn that it doesn't stall out, then drive it for 20 miles under varied conditions of highway and stop and go and low speed operation, that should get all to work again. If you still have problems you will need to have the system scanned to see what is going on that is causing a stall. Also add fresh fuel, gas goes bad in about 3 months. Use the recommended grade of fuel.

2005 grand caravan fuel problem

Theres a problem in the Fuel pump. Do you have a check engine light with codes?? If not go to any good auto part store & have them scan for codes for FREE. Auto Zone does this & others. This would help on my end. But sounds like the fuel level sending unit which is part of the fuel pump & can be replace sepreat from the intire unit. It's cheaper. You still have to drop the fuel tank to get to it
