1997 Dodge Caravan. I have a thread in here about my problem with the
noise.

We've been keeping up pretty well with maintenance, but now the Check Engine
soon light is on; came on 2 months ago and we had the guy reset it as he
couldn't find a problem with that either. Then again, hubby bought a fuel
filter several months ago and has yet to put THAT on; he didn't know where
it was located and all I can find now is that you have to remove the fuel
tank to change the filter, argh..............but maybe it needs it and could
be why the light came on, or perhaps that we sometimes fuel up extra
containers and add gas to the car from containers and maybe some leaks onto
a sensor?
And I'm due for an oil change too. I thought I was done with this car's
repairs for this year!
