I have a 1992 Dodge Caravan that just recently starting stalling. It also is not starting some days and when it does finally fire, it back fires and lets out a big cloud of blue smoke. Have had it in to the mechanic and he cannot figure it out. Says it is either in the electrical or the computer.
Any ideas?
Best idea is to get it to an accredited service shop that has a scanner to read the fault codes
indicates a crank/cam position sensor or wiring problem
a mechanic that cannot do basic fault finding especially when there are records stored in the ECM to help him is not a real mechanic

I'm having a similar problem. The car always starts but backfires sometimes and a big cloud of smoke comes out. Also, recently its been stalling when idling or at low speeds. Any suggestions?
Has your timing & timing belt been checked?
