Sounds like one of the two (or both) oxygen sensors located on the exhaust pipe. They are fairly expensive and you should notice the check engine light on the dash cluster is lit. 

The other possibility is a vacuum leak or it could also be bad plugs and wires, these won't necessarily make the check engine light come on. Oh and another thing it could be is dirty fuel injectors. Sorry, I know that's a lot of things but from the description you gave it all I can say.

What causes a dodge caravan to jerk and not pick up speed while driving after a speed sensor has been changed?

I would like to know that myself. I have a 1990 2.4L Caravan. I put in a used tranny when the other failed. a Month later it started to bog down while driving. It only happens when the engine heats up. Then I have to floor it to get to speed and it still acts like the engine cuts out and comes back and cuts out again. I stand on the brake while in gear and give it gas and it starts to stumble. Put it in park and rev it and the engine runs fine. I am wondering if it isn't the shift solenoid?

2002 dodge caravan engine cuts out while driving and idling?

My 2002 Caravan was cutting out when I slowed to make a turn or stop at a stop light. It would then rev up high and try to lurch forward. I also felt like the torque converter was slipping in and out at around 50 mph. No codes were thrown from the computer. I went for a year and a half and several mechanics before someone suggested I replace the TPS (throttle position sensor). I got one at Autozone for 20 dollars and it fixed everything! Good luck.


How do you troubleshoot the AC on a Dodge Caravan or Saturn SC1?

The most basic way is to record the ambient temperature, record the temperature of the air coming out of the vents, hook up a manifold gauge set, and record the system pressures on each side of the system, both at their lowest point, and at their highest point (right before the compressor clutch cuts out). If you have further questions on this, you're free to email me, as the address is on my bio page.
