    Try changing the battery in your key fob. Yes it starts but the fob takes a second fo tell the fob finder that its got the right key etc etc. I gave my wife the key only to my truck as i had one cut just to open the door . It starts n runs but like 10 secs dies. .. computer wants to see the fob. Its part of the security system

Anytime the engine is off and key is on the engine light will be on !. Get someone to put a scan tool on it and get the codes.

There are about a bazillion reasons this could happen.

Out of gas?
Bad alternator?
Failed fuel pump?

Blown master link on the battery cable?

You will need a mechanic to diagnose unless it is something obvious like fuel.

Is your gas cap tight? check it, these codes indicate a large leak in the fuel evaporative emission recovery system at the gas tank

SOURCE: Check Engine Light Stays On

well over 150 different faults turn the MIL (Malfunction indicator lamp) light on, suggest to find out the fault code in the computer for the light, you can go to any kragen or autozone parts store and they will run a test on the system for free, post the code back here..

I2003 Chrysler Voyager check engine light came on the car lost power, stuttered, rumbles, misses and smells of unburnt gas misfire on 2 changed all plugs, wires, coil pack, wiring harness to inj, ecm.

You seem to have changed a lot of parts in an attempt to cure.

Important to start with a code read to provide clues to the cause of the fault. Fault codes aren't always accurate alone and live data and freeze frame data should be used in combination.

It is best practice to then, instead of jumping in feet first, verify the routine maintenance is up to date and competently carried out and carry out a thorough visual inspection.
This is before any repairs are begun and then any stored faults are erased from the memory and then carry out a roadtest if the fault isn't apparent or if it is carry out a new code read and begin repairs or replacements of faulty item(s).

It should be borne in mind if a fault code indicates a faulty sensor it doesn't mean the sensor is faulty. What it does mean is the sensor COULD be faulty but it could equally be the wiring, connections or even the ecu.

Caravan malfunction indicator light

The check engine light comes on when there is a fault or failure of a component within one of the systems.It will need to be checked for a fault then a diagnostic procedure routine will need to be done to determine the cause of the fault.If that check engine light is flashing while driving STOP and have it towed to the nearest shop,preferably a Chrysler dealer as they have the highest trained techs to correctly diagnose issues on any Chrysler product.

Check engine light comes on, but computer shows no problem?

Do not shut off the Van and check the lights.... Did you have your Transmission serviced lately? Common problem with this transmission.

Your problem could quite possibly be an internal issue with PCM/ECU
