Dodge Caravan 93 Rough Running Wet !!
I had a 94 Acclaim with the 3.0 Mitsubishi in it that did the same
thing. When the A604 started "slipping" about the same time I flogged the car and sold it for cheap. Usually when it is moisture related, this is electrical problems - and specifically high-voltage electrical - IE your ignition system. I did notice in the engine that I had that there was a "conventional" distributor rather that an electronically controlled and fired coil pack. My experience from days of yore with distributors is that that are a pain in the neck. That is where I would start. Check your plug wires first - always do the simple stuff first. If it has been a long time sunce the wires were replaced (5 or more years) you may want to just replace them with a new set as good PM practice. Check your distributor cap for small cracks. Check the rotor. I don't think these distributors had "points & condenser", but it is worth a look. Good luck. Let us know what you find.

Since the 3.0 has a distributor, I would suggest starting there. Check
the cap for cracks or other places where water may enter. The boots on the wires should seal tight around the wires and on the cap. Also, the cap should have a good seal on the distributor. -Kirk Matheson |

I just had the same problem with my 1996 Ford van,the cure was a complete
tuneup,especially the spark plugs,distributor cap,rotor, and new wires |
