as i replied to last post 

i had similar issue and it was the fuel rail pressure release valve fault 

ps i also replaced all the filters including the heater/filter housen etc........ 

at Emmence expense over 2 voyagers btw  

stop asking for peoples opinions and taking guesses at the problem 

pay a specialist extra few quid to sort the problem once and for all 

honestly sounds like im being disrespectful but im not im trying to help you save the money that i previously spent with same problem

oh ps i had the same issue with my previous 2.5 voyager too that i never got to bottom of the issue yet spent a small fortune and ended up selling for spares/repair

i paid £3k for my 2006 2.8 and had the problem 3 weeks after i bought it

hence i paid a specialist to sort it out for me

(no one likes to loose £3k) 

honestly friend it will be money well spent

I just got this problem too.

Drove from Wales to Bolton on Fri.

Saturday morning the car started, ran for a few seconds then stalled.

The fuse for the fuel heater had blown. Unfortunately, no tools.

I called the AA they somehow got the car running, and I used it all day Sat.

Sunday morning the same issue as above. Fuse blown.

Called the AA again but this time the guy couldn't start the car, the fuse kept blowing.

I guess the fuel heater wiring has a short circuit.

I'm stuck in Bolton for exams and no Chrysler.

I have a mobile electrical guy coming tomorrow.

If he finds the fault, I will post it.

Meanwhile if anyone can shed a light on this problem it will be a great help.

I've printed Andy's post for the auto electrician.

Thanks for both replies Andy.

 

I thought the diagram told me that the fuse for fuel heater is also fuel pump.

I will check again tomorrow.

My car has been starting fairly well since I returned from Bolton. Of course the weather is warmer, so I don't believe Bolton is to blame.

However, when the engine is running,I notice the RPM doesn't  change at all when I shift to drive from park. and vice versa.

Do you know where the pump is located? is it in the tank?

My manual says it is in front of the rear axle. 2006 2.8

Thanks Mate

No problem, yeah look on the fusebox that should confirm it.

 

I think the 2006 is the same as mine, so yes fuel lift pump (heater, filter) is beside the fuel tank approx in the middle.

(Remember this is the low pressure primer/lift pump not the main high pressure pump that is driven from the timing belt)

 

Take a look at my video that covered all of the cold problems I had https://www.patreon.com/posts/chrysler-grand-2-17356742

I cover the fuel filter, fuel heater and it's housing on the video and also show where it's located/mounted so should help you identify.

Approx 11min50 is where I cover the fuel filter and pump.

 

Oh, also video where I change the filter:
