No heat, rough idle then pop and smoke from coil pack 2001 caravan 3.3

2001 Dodge Caravan 3.3 V6. heater quit suddenly. Checked coolant, was down. Started van and it ran rough. Went around to check exhaust and heard a loud pop noise and van stopped. Smoke was coming out around coil pack? Van would not restart. Noticed upper coolant hose goes into block below the coil pack, any connection here? Thanks, Bryan.

Two separate problems, suspect low coolant and rough running indicates blown head gasket, no start
probably from fried coil pack

SOURCE: dodge caravan sliding doors

First, keep in mind that as you begin to remove these doors you run the risk of causing serious scratches to the paint and glass, so put some masking tape and/or plastic sheeting around both sides of the door (rear quarter panel and rear glass, front door and front door glass)
I would get a Haynes repair guide since that's what I have to work from and it will tell you step by step with pictures, what to do. It's not hard, but you need to get all of the attach points unhooked to be successful. Suggest you have a helper working with you to keep the door steady.

SOURCE: Dodge 2002 Grand Caravan V6 3.3 engine overheating/no cabin heat.

Replace the bad radiator hose first.  Second- get you special formulated anti-freeze dye from the auto store and pour it into the radiator.  Third- make sure you got all the air pockets out of your system, cause the coolant system won't work with air pockets in it.  Fourth- Check for leaks by looking for the colored dye.  If it's not the radiator hose, then could possibly be a pin hole in your radiator.  Would suggest replacing all the radiator hoses at the same time while you got the coolant system disconnected, cause you don't want to have to come back and replace another hose in a few months.

2001 Dodge Caravan. no heat, stays in ac mode

Check the radiator to make sure that the coolant level in the radiator itself is not lower than the level of the heater pipes.
Look to see if their is any heat going through the heater pipes. The radiator or the the heating system could be having problems and it should be looked at by a mechanic.

2002 dodge grand caravan 3.3 v6 running rough like on 4 plugs

If one of your ignition coils on the coil pack has gone out, that would affect two cylinders, and you would only have 4 cylinders still functioning. Those two cylinders would not have spark, well, actually a jolt of high voltage current, on the wires going to the spark plugs.

2001 Dodge Caravan heater blows cold air when stopped

Have you checked the coolant level? What you describe is exactly what happens if the coolant level is low. When stopped at idle, hot coolant is not circulating through the heater core, so no heat. As the engine increases in rpm's when you pull away from the light, the water pump is spinning quicker, and some coolant is making it to the heater core. So check the level, and if it is low, keep an eye on it to see if it drops again. That of course indicates a leak somewhere. Get it fixed, as overheating the engine leads to costly repairs and worse case a new engine. Let me know how you make out with this.
