How do you fix a miss at idle in gear on a 96 dodge caravan there is no miss out of gear?

Sometimes an engine will seem to idle more smoothly when there is no load simply because the flywheel is carrying the cylinders across anything that is misfiring. Check the compression first. If all cylinders are within a couple PSI of each other you probably don't have any bad valves. If you haven't replaced the plugs, distributor, rotor and wires for a while, that seems like a good next place. If it still isn't cleared up checked the injectors for anything that might be partially plugged.

Why does your 1999 cavalier 5 speed miss out?
Miss out? I am not sure what you mean. If you are saying that it wont go into gear, or its throwing it out of gear, the transmission is going (A gear has shattered). If it is "missing" or miss-firing, it could be your plugs and wires. Those are the most common solutions to this.
1994 dodge caravan that has a miss to it but does not have problems starting Owner said it was the manifold donut gasket that needs replaced Is this possible?
A exhaust manifold that is warped, cracked, or missing a gasket will make a sound like a engine miss. I usually look for soot near the suspected area to tell for sure.
What will cause a 1997 Mercury Villager Van to miss only when it's idling in gear?
Check your vacum lines. The rubber and plastic hoses under the hood. If one is loose and leaking, it will cause a miss. If it only does it at idle, it will probably be a small line or just loose. that's the first and cheapest thing to do.
Where is radiator drain plug Dodge Grand Caravan?
On the bottom of the radiator usually on the passenger side. **Correction** Sorry! It's not necessarily on the passenger side, don't know why I said that. It's on the driver's side for my caravan so it really depends I guess. Just take a look at each side of the radiator at the bottom, you can't miss it.
