Hi,
I have a 96 Plymouth Voyager with a 3.0 liter engine, 3 speed trans and 162,000 miles. I just had the tranny redone a week ago and was told everything else looked very good. But today towards the end of a long grade the engine faltered (it felt like the gas tank was low, which it wasn't) and at the same time the speedometer needle went crazy. I got to the top of the hill okay and to a flat part. The engine seemed okay but the speedometer was still going crazy until I stopped at a traffic light. After that it settled down and all appeared normal. I ran another errand about an hour later, and everything seemed okay.
I'm wondering if this was a warning of trouble to come and if so, what??
Any advice or thoughts on this would be much appreciated. Because of the mileage on this van (original engine), I'm a little nervous about what might be up ahead.
Thanks for the help.
