Often, engine missing when in reverse gear [if the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission] indicates a possible vacuum leak in the vacuum line going to the transmission modulator valve, or in the modulator valve itself.

Not much as there are very few Pintos left. But to a Pinto owner needing an engine it is worth something. I would think a good engine in perfect running order would be worth $1,000. An engine needing an overhaul would be worth $500. But that is just my opinion. Ask around local auto salvage yards and see what they are getting. If they have one. They are rare.
Because reverse is a lower ratio gear than drive and puts less load on the engine.
A good place to find a company which specializes in caravan sales would be online at the website known as Premier Caravans. It offers plenty of information on the caravans.
Why would it stall or almost stall in Reverse but not in Drive? How long since it's received a tune-up and thorough check-up? How is the compression?
Depends on the exact problem. -The reverse mechanism is essentially doors that divert the exhaust. The engine itself does not actually reverse.
yes if you need new fuel pump, the engine is not getting fuel. therefore no fuel equals engine wont run
People would often travel to Mexico in caravans. Caravans are groups of people going to a place in a group. They did this so that bandits or robbers would most likely notice the large group and not bother them.
If you are refering to the caravans as the conestoga wagons then it is because cloth was naturally white to a dull grey. There would be no reason to dye them especially as this would have been expensive. Also white reflects sunlight and would keep the wagon cooler in the summer. If you mean Dodge caravans the mini van, there are a lot of them that are purchased as company or fleet vehicles and white is the least expensive color there is.
A car might stall when shifting from park to reverse if the idle is set too low. It is also possible that the engine stalls because it is not fully warmed up before shifting from park to reverse.
Well I have the reverse, 454 manifolds on a 350, so I would think so.
Your engine could be losing power and your check engine light coming on for many reasons. It could be your spark plugs needing to be changed. Your fuel pump or fuel filter could be clogged or starting to wear out, or your engine oil is to low.
