Pull the oil dipstick and see if you have a lot of bubbles in the oil. If your head gasket is blown you will have coolant mixing with oil causing the bubbles. If you don't see the bubbles, you may still have a bad head gasket but should consider that it may a be a bad intake manifold gasket. Look on the ends of the engine block - where the transmission attaches on the driver's side and the drive belt is on the passenger side. Look for signs of coolant leaking onto the outside of the block castings at the base of the lower intake manifold chamber (it looks sort of like the flattened bottom of a V) . If it's there you may just have the manifold gasket leak. My '03 T&C with the 3.3l had this problem. It ran rough, and only with no pedal being applied. Driving was tough to get it to the shop since it died at each stop light and required the gas pedal to be feathered to keep it running.

If you have more than amateur skills you can replace it yourself.

SOURCE: Rough Idle

You might try going to your local auto parts store and purchasing some intake sensor or MAP sensor cleaning spray and clean your input sensors so theyll get an accurate reading to control your engine idle better. It may also be that your idle air control motor may be stuck or going out. These fixes will be much more easily facilitated if you go to your local auto parts store and purchase a Hains manual for your car and follow the step by step guide to reconcile this and other matters and redeem your car from an early grave. Good luck!!!

I have a 1999 Dodge Caravan Sports with a 3.3 L engine. Brought it with a new alternator in the box inside. Van run fine until this guy put the new Alternator on and I drove it run out rough dumps 3/4 tank...

The alternator is used to charge the battery. There is no reason to believe the replacement has caused the fuel utilization problem, or smoke from the tail pipe, or rough running engine. A good mechanic should be able to examine your engine and find the problem. White smoke could be valves or piston rings worn out. There are many things that cause rough running engine. Fuel mixture controls, fuel leak, faulty timing, there is a long list. Good luck.

93 dodge caravan running so rough its not driveable, constantly stalling no power does start , sometimes get 20 min of normal driving and then it all goes to pieces again. Get engine codes 12,17, 32,

Code 12 just saying battery has been disconnected or run down low recently. 32 is related to loss of power light which shouldn't be a problem. I'd concentrate first on code 17- coolant sensor. Changing that may cure your problem, but if not, a good place to start. Sensor may be telling ECM that engine is already warm, thus too lean of a mixture etc.

If it ran out of gas you may have sediment in the fuel lines causing rough running which may trigger a transmission code due to improper vacuum due to the rough running.

I have a 2002 caravan 3.3L engine light came on but was running fine. code Po171 (system too lean bank 1) no other codes. ran fine several days with engine light on . 3rd morning it wouldn't start. started...

the most propable cause is you have a vacume leak. Check all intake hoses for leaks and spray brake cleaner around intake gaskets if rpms change then you found a leak also clean your mass airflow sensor

I have a 1999 Grand Caravan with start up problems

if you dont already I would highly recommend pluging it in a night if it has a block heater it helps to keep the block warmer and this will keep most moister from regular use from freezing in the electrical connections under the hood also try using a fuel anti freeze if there is the slightest bit of moister in the lines it will cause a rough start and it takes 35seconds of above idle running for the vehicles fuel injection programing to reset it self and run smoothly,also have the battery checked it could just have a weak moment until the alternator kicks in to recharge it from the start-up so I would recommend having the battery check cold so it hasn't had the boost from the alternator yet.hope this helps.

Caravan runs very rough at start up when cold

have you installed new plugs lately,if so have someone check the Engine Coolant Switch,
this sensor tells the engine how cold it is so the computer knows what kind of fuel mixture it will need.
rich or lean
