Recently, the engine on our 96 T&C with 79K miles starting cutting out for
an instant. It's almost as if the fuel supply or ignition is momentarily
shut off. If this happens while driving, it's not too much of a problem as
the transmission keeps the RPMs up enough to re-start the engine. It simply
feels like a hick-up. However, if it happens while idling, the engine
stalls, but can be re-started immediately. I can find no pattern as to when
this occurs - it seems to be totally random.

Any ideas? Engine control computer? Fuel pump? It certainly seems like
something electrical is the root cause of this. btw, our "service engine"
light turned on a little while ago, but the dealer stated it was for the EGR
valve when I had it checked out. I did not replace this yet. Could that
somehow be resonsible?

thanks for any help,
Frank

You might have a dirty throttle body and AIS motor/pintle. This happened every
now and then after we purchaced our 96 T&C used at 80 some thousand. The dealer
cleaned it and said they replaced the AIS motor. Same thing happened a few
months later and they replaced the motor again under warranty.
