1990 Dodge Caravan Engine cooling Problems

“I own a 1990 Dodge grand Caravan with the motor. One morning on my way to work the accelerator stuck open. I pulled over to investigate and removed the air cleaner cover and map sensor to see what why the throttle was stuck open. I found a square piece of plastic that looks like a little table with a hole in the top. I wanted to find out how it got there so I took the air cleaner out and found that it is supposed to hold the crankcase ventilation filter in the bottom of the canister. …”

“I am the original owner of the vehicle. At 48,000 miles the transmission failed. It was replaced by the dealer, glenn e. Thomas Dodge in signal hill. Thereafter, every 15,000 to 25,000 miles or so, the transmission has failed, probably 5 times now; the computer for the trans has failed twice, the motor computer failed 2 times, the power windows broke off their tracks, the sliding door jammed shut and wouldn't align. …”

“Recall # 89v237000 , vehicle not included. The engine valve cover gasket has dislocated, causing an oil leak onto the exhaust manifold. Could result in a possible fire.
