    Caravan Sport 3.3 L V6

    I have 2 questions ........ The idle is 750 while is neutral (normal) but
    when in drive the idle will drop to 650 (normal) but if I am at a stop for
    more that 30 seconds the idle (in drive) slowly drops below 600 rpm to 550
    rpm and is rough. I took it to the dealer under warranty and they claimed
    that it was showing any negative codes and a little roughness was normal.
    Is there and idle adjustment? Second question one of the back brakes
    squeals upon lightly applying at slow speed .......the squeal doesn't happen
    at faster speeds when brakes are applied harder. Lots of pad left...no
    other symptoms. Thanks in advance for any advice.
    Cheers,
    MK

    What yr? Mileage? The idle is controlled by the engine controller, But what
    you may have is a dirty throttle body causing the low idle which is easy to
    clean. Just take off the hose and with the engine not running use a tooth
    brush and throttle body cleaner to scub the btop and bottom of the nlade and
    the inside of the bore

    It is a 2001 with about 40k miles. Thank you for the throttle body
    suggestion. I think that was the problem. I did a quick cleaning with a
    rag and some carb cleaner and the idle is higher and steady (when engaged in
    drive). I will find a brush and do a better job on the weekend. Funny that
    the dealer didn't check this under warranty.....hmmmm. Any thoughts on the
    rear break squeal ???
    Thanks for the advice.

    Well first of all it isnt a warranted item, that would be maintenance and
    they may have charged you from 50 to 100 bucks to do it. Some brake squeal
    is considereed normal due the materials that the linings are made of,
    especially on cold damp mornings. You need to check them first to be sure
    they still have plenty of life left, Clean all the dust from inside the
    drums and lube the backing plates, once again this is also a maintenance
    item
