Welcome to just answers my name is Kevin
DO u have the codes that are in the computer?

Customer replied405 days and 14 hours ago.

I'm not sure of the exact codes but it was miss firing on 1,3,&5 when the check engine light is on. Its not on now cuz I can't drive it far enough to gget it to turn back on

a misfire will not shut the van off while driving it will only make it run bad. Unless u had cleared the codes or disconnected the battery the codes will be stored in the PCM for up to 40 starts.

Customer replied405 days and 5 hours ago.

The computer is not storing any of the information

then that means some one cleared it with a scanner or unplugged the battery in that case its pretty much useless until u drive it enough to get the light to come back on
