Engine Performance problem
1999 Dodge Caravan 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 219000 miles

I have a 1999 Dodge Caravan that has developed an odd problem. In park the engine will begin to idle roughly. When I begin to drive it works fine until I either coast or apply the brake. The vehicle then keeps stalling at low rpm for a while and then it seems to fix itself. This problem comes and goes and I find that odd. One day it works fine and then the problem comes back. I think it may be a Battery problem or maybe a dirty fuel filter. Any other suggestions?

Van Troubles

Start with check your idle air control motor. Sounds like it is sticking. Rough idle usually means vacuum leak. So, check and make sure that all your vacuum hoses are good and connected. Also check your EGR valve, making sure it is not leaking or plugged up.

Hey thanks Zackman! You were spot on. I changed the idle air control motor and she works great!

Cheers!

Glad to help...
