Hi, i just replaced the Fuel Filter on my 1990 Dodge Grand Caravan LE. The fuel filter was located on the passenger side, underneath the front passenger seat. If you go straight down from the front passenger door handle, its almost directly under it. You will have to get UNDER the van to see it, as it is mounted on the INSIDE of the chassis rail. It took one bolt to remove from the chassis, and two hose clamps to remove. BEWARE: it is a pressurized (lightly) fuel line. Wear some goggles, gloves, and have something to catch the fuel that will inevitably spill out. The filter itself was $12 at my local parts store.

I also have a 1994 Plymouth Voyager, which is almost identical to the Caravan, and the fuel filter is located in the exact same position.

Take care

97 caravan stumles when you give it gas

Very likely a low fuel pressure problem. Have you changed the fuel filter? Check the fuel pressure against vehicle spec's while running at idle and again at about 3000 RPM. Also check pressure with key on/engine off. If you lose pressure between idle and higher RPM's you probably have a weak fuel pump. Same goes for if you lose pressure after initial key on/engine off. You could also have a problem with a weak ignition coil, spark plug wires or spark plugs but not as likely.

How do u change a fuel fitler for a 1997 dodge caravan

The fuel filter is mounted on the top of the fuel tank, the tank must be dropped out to replace the filter which is a complete fuel filter and fuel line assembly. Under normal driving condition this filter is never replaced unless the fuel pump is replaced due to failure.

I have a 1997 3.8 dodge grand caravan. When i start it up it only runs a short time then shuts off. i replaced the fuel pump but it does the samething. Can it be the crank sensor.

Mike, Did you replace the Fuel pump yourself? I am attempting to replace the fuel pump on my 97 but the big O ring is giving me all kinds of trouble. The instructions were very vague and I cant seem to get it seated right.
