Answer 1 - Faulty Spark Plug WiresAlthough it's possible, more than likely not. If plug wires are faulty, then that condition should cause the same performance issues [skipping, cutting out, dieing, etc.] regardless of the transmission being in forward or reverse.

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.

What is a 72 pinto 2000cc engine worth?

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.

Why are nearly all caravans white?

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.
