    Hello group,

    I have a 1993 Doge Caravan V6 3.0L with the following problem. All runs fine
    for about 30 min minutes and the van starts to sputter but never stalled and
    it continues to do this for about for about another 30 min and then is fine.
    The best way I can explain this is it is almost like a lack of gas or a bad
    spark. It is especially bad stopping at a light and you watch the TAC go up
    and down and then when you go to accelerate it kicks in and out. Any Ideas?

    Thanks,

    Brad

    I am having the exact same problem. Check out my posts above.
    I've been to two garages already and spent 400 bucks, with no results.
    I've bit the bullet and went to a Dodge dealer. I'll let you know if
    they find the bloody problem. And how much they stick me for.

    I keep seeing posts that its most likely the EGR system, but has anyone
    on any of these 2 vans checked the fuel pressure? A van 11+ years old
    is bound to be in need of a filter change and maybe even a new pump!

    REMOVE the NOCRAP in my address to reply.

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I will be Taking my van in the next couple of
    weeks to be fixed. It looks like I wont be able to do the work myself by
    your feed back.

    Thanks once again.

    Lack of fuel would show up under load in almost all cases. The egr system
    you've been reading about is the one on the 3.3/3.8 family. Vastly different
    and superior engines to the 3.0
