Trying to perk up my mom's 1995 Caravan with the 3.0L engine.
Does anyone have any cheap mods for such a vehicle ? Any tips on spark plugs; heat range or one heat range cooler than stock ? 180 t-stat ? Is a cold air intake possible on such a vehicle ?

Here is the modifications I have made on my 3.0 Dodge Caravan :
- 180° thermostat - 8 mm Accell spark plug wire set - Splitfire spark plug (SF6D) - 58 mm Throttle body (found on a 1998 Dodge Caravan with the 3.8 engine) - K&N cone filter - ported plenum (quite easy to do) You can also have : - intake spacers ( http://www.fwdmoparmuscle.com ) - you can upgrade the ignition of your minivan with MSD products. You can also do a lot of modifications but it's not really cheap : I plan on adding a Eaton M90 Supercharger on my 3.0 Dodge Caravan. Bye

the 2 modifictions of the throttle body and the ported plenum are to add more air in your intake.
you can find how to do these modifications here : http://shad181.tripod.com/ThrottleBodies.html http://shad181.tripod.com/porting.html The 180° thermostat is to replace the 195° which came with your engine. The cooler is your engine, the better it works.

You haven't encountered any codes being thrown with a 180 t-stat ?
