97 dodge caravan start and stall in morning, if warm up 5-10 minutes then no driving problem. if warm up not enough the van will lose idling and stall at stop sign or when my foot is leaving the gas pedal. restart is usually ok but will need the gas pedal pressing for quite awhile to keep the van idling. and after 15 minutes driving everything is fine again.

The choke function is not working on a cold engine.
1 clean throttle body and IAC motor air pathways.
2. Check for engine codes, you are looking for a code that relatws to the wngine temperature sensor.

SOURCE: 1993 Dodge Grand Caravan, stalls at lower speeds

you are most likely having a problem with your intake manifold. it may have a crack in it or have a leak and somewhere in your engine you have a vacuum leak which is robbing your engine of its power.

SOURCE: Stalls just after idling for more than 3 minutes

I had the same problem. you have to either keep replacing the filter until the line has cleaned out or blow the filter out with an air hose. Tedious but cheap.

2001 dodge grand caravan stalls

Check the sensors on the throttle body. There is a sensor that controls air to fuel ratio. If that sensor is bad then the car will run and then stall out while in drive. I had the same problem when it was cold outside last winter. If you dont want to dish out the money without knowing if it is that part at fault or not then start the van pop the hood and located the throttle body. Place your hand on the sensors and give them a little shake and then make sure they are plugged in all the way. You could also turn the van off and unhook the sensor clean the connectors and plug it back in. That should do the trick and if it doesnt stall anymore then I would replace those sensors if I was you. One more thing. If your giving the sensors a tug while the car is running and you hear it going to stall you could located the gas pedal cable and give it a rev or two by hand so it doesnt stall out and turn off. By the way. You van isnt over heating at all is it?

2001 Dodge Caravan SE 2.4L.. In cold Weather it starts then stalls and dies...?

Inlet air temperature sensor, also known as throttle body temperature sensor, will do that. Don't go changing TPS, or IAC, as suggested in other post. If they work good in warm weather, they should do the same in cold. Air inlet sensor tells system how much fuel to deliver according to temperature, as engine needs more fuel the colder it is when starting.
