intermittently Stalls in idle

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! The Grand Caravan's playing the "stalling game," huh? That can be as annoying as a mosquito at a summer picnic. Stalling intermittently at idle, in reverse, or at a red light can often point to a few usual suspects. First off, let's talk about the idle air control valve (IAC). This little guy helps manage your engine’s idle speed. If it's dirty or faulty, it can cause stalling. Giving it a good cleaning or replacing it might just do the trick. Then there's the throttle body – if it's gunked up, your engine might struggle to breathe at idle. Cleaning it out can help smooth things over. Also, consider the fuel system: a clogged fuel filter or failing fuel pump might cause intermittent stalls. Lastly, a faulty crankshaft position sensor or a vacuum leak could be throwing a wrench in the works. These can cause the engine to misfire or stall at low speeds. If the stalling continues, it’s worth getting a pro to check it. They'll be able to hook up a diagnostic tool and see if any error codes are pointing to the culprit.
