Scotty, I have a 2010 Dodge grand caravan SXT, 3.3L 4 speed automatic, with a lil more than 230k km, ~25k of them I are mine.

Close to a month ago, my dodge started to act up: lil spudering, hesitation and stuff but never anything massive. No codes at this point. One cold morning, all this got worse, and fast. The vehicle couldn’t accelerate, idling was impossible, and, in the whole time of my ownership, it stalled. Then the codes came. Codes everywhere Scotty.

Im not a mechanic, by any standard, but I thought I’d try it out, y’know, learn something new? Anyways, I’ve replaced the starter motor, ignition coil, plugs and battery  . I’ve cleaned my EGR valve, not stuck. All this, and to my delight, it still doesn’t start.

Scotty, my question, is why, and what would Jesus, I mean Scotty do in this case?

p.s I got my vehicle back from a mechanic bout 3 months ago,

thanks Scotty

Wow - that's a lot of codes.You can learn what they mean at https://repairpal.com/obd-II-code-chart

Sounds the problem that might be at the root of your non-starting problem is that your engine is running very rich. Have you cleaned your MAF (Mass Air Flow sensor)? Scotty has a video on that, though it might need replacing instead of just cleaning.

Here's a Scotty video that you might want to start with, if you haven't already:
