I need to have the ignition coil changed in my 2005 Dodge Caravan. I know very little about working on cars. Is this something I can do myself or do I need to take it to a shop? If it is something I can do myself, can I get step by step instructions? Thanks!

You can do it yourself. I'm not sure if two or four hold-down screws/bolts to remove. You might mark the plugwire position, so they go back on the new coil in same position. Replacing the plugs and plug wires wouldn't hurt anything. Just make sure it is a coil issue and not something else.
