1999 chrysler town and country mini van 3.8 DTC code P1776 and P0700 were removed from the PCM my haynes code book says, code P0700, the eatx controller DCT present. No code in my book for P1776. Problem is the engine rpm is up but the speed of the vehicle isn't. 3000 RPM, 40 mph. I have tried to locate the eatx controller but can't locate any information on same.... Thanks Stanley

I would have the transmission serviced fluid and filter changed and see if that solves the problem..First check the battery condition. just because it starts dont mean that the battery is good it should be load tested. any auto parts store will do this for you free.
