I have a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3l with 199000 miles. About a 2 weeks ago I changed plugs and wires. Then the other day the check engine light came on and was flashing. The code I got was P1684 and P0300. I have not disconnected the battery, so I'm not sure why the first code. The van starts and idles good but misfires when accelerating. I changed fuel filter and put in some injector cleaner. The light is still on but does not flash anymore and does not seem to misfire. But now when I try to speed up the rpm will go to 3500 with little speed increase.

SOURCE: how to replace a PCV valve on my 1997 dodge neon?

Once you have the new PCV valve locate the old one on your engine. It will sit on the middle of one of your valve covers (most likely passenger side) and will have a line that connects to the top of the valve. Simply pull the old one out and put the new one in snapping that line on the new one. Should only take about a minute to do. Hope this helps, let me know if it does.

SOURCE: p1684 dtc code on 2001 dodge grand caravan sport.

Yah code 1684, it just tells you that battery/computer has been disconnected within last 50 starts. If it doesn't drive you nuts, give it some time, you'll be suprised how quick 50 starts will go by & light should go out

SOURCE: 2004 dodge caravan 2.4 Hesitates during Acceleration and at idele

You should definitely replace the fuel filter though this probably won't fix your hesitation. It wouldn't hurt to replace the spark plugs this is usually the culprit on these engine. I have the same engine in a '99 caravan and found the for some reason the spark plugs on cylinder 3 and 4 loosen up after one year and cause a misfire between 45 and 50 mph under load (when mildly accelerating).

2003 caravan: malfunction indicator light came on while driving about 2 miles from home . engine oil down 1/2 qtTrans. Fluid OK. Gas filled up 40 miles ago. I notice a slight soft put put noise

You said you engine oil was low 1/2 quart? was it just changed? or does it use a little between changes? Sounds like a mis fire which would have to do with sparkplugs, spark plug wires and the coil pack. I have owned a 97 grand caravan.I know yours is the next gen but drivetrain were just about the same. I had a few fuel injector wires that would cause a mis every now and then. The check engine light will be the key, There will be a code stored in there that will guide you to your answer. If you have 100,000mi on it. Its time for a tune up.As for the 1/2 quart on the oil, sometimes "lube service" Fills to the full line on oil stick. The oil filter will hold just about a 1/2 quart. So if "Lube service" did not account for this, after you start your van and check the oil it will show just shy of 1/2 quart. I would suggest getting the engine code first (mfi lamp)

Oil light flashing, last oil change 7 wks ago

I belive they didn't reset the oil light timer. I belive the sequence is 1. key on (not acc with engine off)
2. step on the brake pedal 5 times within 10 seconds. 3. key off. 4. start car. 5. check if the light went out. you may have to try it a few times to get it.

2003 Grand Dodge Caravan Will not turn over.

First thing I would have checked is the charging system, battery load test, alternator charging, all connections to battery cleaned & checked, as well as any ground straps connected from engine to frame, or firewall.
