| Description of the problem | After fueling my 2006 dodge caravan it will stall, or sputter to almost stalling then rev up and almost stall again several times. After a few times of stalling and sputtering it then runs fine. The problem is that this happens usually right after pulling out of the gas station, which usually involves pulling out into traffic. Two times this happened, before i know better now, it happened after pulling out onto the road and stalling in the middle of 4 lane roads. Luckily the first time there was no traffic and the second time i was going downhill on a straight road and was able to coast until i got the van started. Although i am aware of the problem now, this could be dangerous. Also this is a business vehicle and people other than myself drive the vehicle. My employees may not be able to react to a stall in the middle of a road as i am. |
