I own a 1990 dodge grand caravan with themotor. One morning on my way to work the accelerator stuck open. I pulled over to investigate and removed the air cleaner cover and map sensor to see what why the throttle was stuck open. I found a square piece of plastic that looks like a little table with a hole in the top. I wanted to find out how it got there so i took the air cleaner out and found that it is supposed to hold the crankcase ventilation filter in the bottom of the canister. The bad thing about this is that i was on icy roads and the only way i could control the vehicle was to shut the engine off and coast into a driveway. I also remembered this happening to the 1991 plymouth grand voyager that i used to own. These vehicles were purchased used and therefore, i suspect that at one time someone has ran these without a filter in place. The big question is,of all these vans on the road, how many have been run without a filter. I had owned each of these at least six months before this happened. I feel that anything in the airflow path on a vehicle should be secured so there is no way it can be drawn into the engine.*nlm

I started noticing a slight grinding noise 1 week before the failure. It only happened when it was cold and only when turning left. I thought it could be a bad u-joint. On the morning of 2-16-07 8:15 am i was turning left at an intersection when the transmission gave out. It chewed up one of the bearings (which a mechanic later told me was notorious for going out) and dropped them all over the road. I was caught in the middle of the intersection with no way to go anywhere, blocking traffic. This could have resulted in a major accident. I was also unable to leave the vehicle on the side of the road which had an incline to it. The transmission was no longer attached to the drivetrain and putting the transmission in park had no effect. I had to push the vehicle into someone's driveway and leave it there with a rock in front of the wheel. I did have the emergency brake on but i was not going to totally trust it to keep the van stationary. This is the second transmission that has been put into the van. It is a 1990 with only 87000 original miles. I am the second owner and only put 2000-3000 miles a year on this van. The second transmission has less than 25000 miles on it.
