Re: 96 Caravan 3.0 Throttle Position Stutter/Miss

I have a 95 Caravan 3.3l which began to stutter and hesitate on light throttle applications. No codes but I found that a cracked vacuum line was the cause. The hose was attached to the EGR. If you have a vacuum gauge connect it to the intake and start the engine. Pinch or plug as many vacuum lines as you can one at a time until you see an increase in vacuum pressure. My engine would wistle every time I lightly touched the throttle. Then go away under acceleration. Changing gears from drive to reverse would cause the engine to hesitate. The vacuum leak was causing a lean condition in the engine.
