RE: 97 caravan backfires sometimes
Th thing that usually goes bad is the vacuum solenoid which comes with the valve. It will eventually set a check engine light. I've gone through this with a few of my caravans and was usually pre-ceded by poor gas mileage before the mil light. On my first 97, I remember a few backfires (one of which actually split the crimp on the muffler) , and this was before the mil came on.
