[3rd Gen : 96-00]: How adjust idle speed on caravan
Edit with further information: Here is what happens (double checked this morning. With the brake pressed and pressing the gas pedal to change the RPM's, at 7-8 1000 rpm it seems to be the best idle range where the engine runs smooth. At 6000 RPMs it starts to tremble & pulse a bit. at 5000 rpm it hesitates. at 4000 RPM it tries to die.
So what I am forced to do, when coming to a stop sign or light, is to hold the brake pedal down and at the same time press the gas pedal to stop the engine from dying. I hope this all helps your understanding of this problem I am facing and looking for help to fix. Jim Edit: the above occurs when the car is engaged in park. Same thing when coming to a stop in drive though.

Special note: It is important to realize that the van ran fine in all ways before the installs of the wrong plugs, then the final and last install of the OEM specified plugs. Solely these spark plug events occurred before the current idle problem surfaced that was idling fine before. Jim
