Yeah. The hall effect pick-up never failed on a 3.0L in all the years I have been with Chrysler but it certainly could. If no hose on lower nipple dont worry. The rotor must be on correctly. It distributes(get it distributes lol) the coil spark to all of the plug wires. So if it is not secured or something about it is wrong, a no start will follow very soom. The coil wire from the center of the cap to the small coil is very important.
The engine hall effect pick up is down deep in distributor under the rotor. May be there could be dirt in it or it may have failed or be disconnected.
You should not worry about the nipple on the bottom of the air cleaner housing if it was hoseless to begin with. It always had a drain. If a nipple on thr intake plenum is open or disconnected, plug it or find the hose for it.I don't think you you would have missed that.
Right now the rotor is the place to look.
That screw can become tight but because it is stripped threads, not really positioned properly. If your having trouble again, let me know tomorrow, and take your time, keep your cool. Only a van and not a health issue. It can and will be repaired. It may have nothing to do with what you did.
I know, only mechanics and technicians know the lingo of these parts, your normal.
And your welcome. They have a manual for your van on this site.
