I am a missionary in Honduras. Don't speak the language well enough to get help locally. I have a 02 dodge caravan. 3.3-V6 90K miles. Just began running rough and the engine light is now on. At an idle seems to do fine. When parked, when I begin to accelerate it begins to run very rough."Missing" When driving it seems to do fine during acceleration but as soon as I let off the gas it begins to run rough.

I have had experience cleaning mass air flow sensors in the past so when I disconnected the hose from the filter bank I noticed it was not put on correctly last time the filter was changed and contaminated air was clearly mixing with the filtered air. So I cleaned the air flow sensor but no change.

I put 10 gallons of premium gas to see if a higher octane might help but still no change.

Thinking of changing the fuel filter next. Any suggestions?

Hi gz41570, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Check engine light coming on-

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis, finding out what's going on.
