| Description of the problem | Classic chrysler failing tipm symptoms. The vw routan is made on a chrysler chassis with a chrysler engine to include the tipm when trying to start,it will turn over but does not appear to get fuel but will usually start after 3-4 tries. Engine randomly stalls and dies when driving. This has happened on the highway and at slower speeds (very scary on the highway!) after doing on-line search for "vw routan wont start", hundreds of articles came up referencing the bad tipm but no recalls at this time. Please help! |
