What codes were stored in the computer? Apparently, there are no codes that came up? There was a code that advised that there was a problem with the EGR Valve, which was replaced in Dec. Exhaust and tailpipe apparently are fine. Have had the fuel filter and pump assy replaced, catalytic converter, belt tensioner, serp. and a/c belt and crank position sensor. The van still runs, but, feels that it is sluggish and I have to floor it just to get up a hill! Not being very familiar with the inside of vehicles, it is very frustrating. The transmission has been checked twice, and apparently is fine. No oil leaks etc. The van does have a 157k km, so, would expect something to go wrong. This is just frustrating. There does appear to be a slight hint of gas smell when the heater is on? Thank you

Why when you had the transmission replaced on a 1992 Dodge Caravan would the mechanic say he could not figure out how to hook up the speedometer?
if he doesnt know how then he must not be a very good mechanic, i have a 92 Spirit, same engine and trans as your caravan, that's if your packing the 2.5L engine... the speedsensor in the back should have the speedometer built

You could use the vector equation [ F = m A ] if you wanted to.The net force is the product of (mass) x (acceleration),and it's in the direction of the acceleration.

How do you calculate acceleration in space?
Same as anywhere else. You can use the formula F = ma (force equals mass times acceleration) and solve for acceleration (a = F/m). Force might be gravitation, in specific cases - or the thrust from the rocket engine. Of course, SOME data must be known to figure out acceleration.Same as anywhere else.

What is wrong if your 1990 Dodge Caravan starts to stall and then stops after 5 minutes of running?
This is likely a problem with the fuel line or filter. You need to make sure the fuel line is clear and does not have any clogs. A change of the fuel filter may help. If you are not able to figure it out by normal maintenance, a mechanic should be consulted.

How do you find acceleration if only given a velocity?
If you have an initial and final velocity and time you can figure it out with this equation, Vf squared=Vi squared1/2a(t squared) If you don't have those you cannot find acceleration. However the acceleration on Earth is a constant -9.81
