I have a 2000 dodge grand caravan with the 3.3L engine and it seems to have what sounds like or could be a blown head gasket. It starts, but will not idle. runs rough, so badly that it wont stay running.

The 3.6L was not in any Caravan until 2011, and then it was in a Grand Caravan. For the 3.3L, click on any of the 'Info' buttons at this link:

Does the radiator fluid look milky? If so, you may have a blown head gasket.

with 15 years experince as a mechanic it sounds to me that you have a blown head gasket that would result in antifreeze leaking into the oil system. which will cause what they call the choclate milkshake. the funny exhaust smell and white colored smoke is caused from the head gasket leaking coolant into the combustion chamber and when coolant gets into the combustion chamber it burns the coolant and forms a white smoke out of the exhaust that will have a sweet smell. replacing the head gasket and having the cylinder head checked at a machine shop will solve your problem. if you remove the spark plugs one at a time you will probally find one that is wet with a unusual color or may even find two spark plugs that way indicating head gasket blown between two cylinders which is most likely your problem. if not fixed soon driving will cause crankshaft bearing damage which results in engine lock up or crankshaft parts like a piston rod to start to knock or fly apart ruining your engine. i hope this helps you

not good wendy, most likely cause is a blown cylinder head gasket, but have someone check to make sure the thermostat is opening( if you let the engine idle for around 10min the top radiator hose will get hot when the thermostat opens if the engine overheats before the top hose gets hot then replace the thermostat) if the thermostat is poening then supect the head gasket.

If you have coolant leaking out of the muffler the head gasket is most likely blown. The head gasket has passageways through it for coolant water, exhaust, intake and engine oil. Depending on which location the gasket has ruptured you can mix fluids or gasses in several combinations. The only way coolant can get to the exhaust is through a cracked head or blown head gasket. If the head is cracked and another head is installed a new head gasket is installed because reusing a used gasket is very risky. The only to be sure what is broken is to take the heads off. If only the head gasket is blown the head is usually warped and should at least be milled if not replaced. I hope this helps.

The stop leak most like caused the thermostat to stick closed and caused the over heating which may have blown a head or intake gasket. Have the oil analyzed to see if there is coolant present and if there is you will need to determine which gasket needs replaced. On newer vehicles it's no small job to replace a head or intake gasket os special tools are required.

check your belt tensioner ,or loose belt,good luck,drive safe pls dont forget to rate me,thanks.

clicking noise could be low voltage,starter relay, or soleniod. have these checked before anything else
