My inlaws own a 1996 Dodge Caravan that is stalling in drive, but will staying running in reverse. The problem started a few months ago , but has gotten more frequent. When it stalls they are able to wait a few minutes and it will start back up, but I think that the wait time is getting longer.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I think that it just does nothing. What would the difference be, because I'm not 100% sure if it does turn over?

When it stalls, does the engine turn over, but it won't start?
Or will it not turn over at all? (does nothing when they turn the key?)
Well, in that case, Id have to say there is a loose battery cable connection.
When it's in drive the engine has a tendency to roll forward on it's motor mounts putting stress on the cables.
Either the ground strap to the engine/frame, or the positive cable to the starter.
Clean the battery connections and posts check for secureness of starter and cables.
It's electrical........
If the engine turns over, but won't start, then I'd have to say it's NOT electrical, but a fuel or ignition issue.

I have a 2003 grand caravan and it would stall out in drive especially when we were waiting at a light. Someone finally told us to change the throttle position sensor. I haven't had a problem since.

I certainly have a 2003 grand caravan and it could stall out in rigidity tremendously as on the instant as we've been waiting at a mushy. somebody ultimately cautioned us to change the throttle place sensor. i've got have been given no longer had a topic by fact.
