2005 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.8L SXT - Keeps throwing a P2302 ignition coil a secondary circuit and a P0032 Ho2s. It has a rough idle especially with the AC on and will hesitate on a hard acceleration takeoff, but if in neutral it idles pretty smooth. I had a cracked coil pack so figured that was the issue. I have replaced the coil pack, the spark plugs and plug wires, I have also replaced the intake gasket (I was told a leaking intake gasket could cause this) and I have cleaned the IAC and throttle body. I checked the IAC function by unplugging it and seeing if it would crank which it wouldn't until I plugged it back in so I know that the IAC is good. I also checked the wires to the coil pack and the pcm appears to be sending the signal to the pack. I'm not so worried about the P0032 code as I figure it will most likely go away after I can find what is causing the P2302. I wouldn't think I have a bad coil pack as it is brand new and I know the plug wires and plugs are good. I'm at a loss and wits end with this.

Do you have the coil over plugs or separate coils and plug wires? If it has the coil overs, check the coil boot to make sure it isn't arcing through the boot and causing a problem. Check the boot for gray areas.
