off/on hesitation at 10-15 mph caravan by rdcres

I have a 2004 Caravan, 3.3 ltr, 69,000 miles. When slowly going through a neighborhood at 10-15 mph the car has begun to hesitate, run ok, hesitate, run ok...and continues this way until I give it more gas. Under normal or hard acceleration the car runs fine, as it also does at idle. Thought I might have some water in the fuel, so have put in injector cleaner that should also dry any water. Have run about 100 miles since then. The problem is still there. Should I wait longer or do you know of another possible cause. Thanks

It may be a timing or vacuum issue. I would start by checking vacuum lines and, perhaps, run some fuel system cleaner through the tank to clean up the injectors.

Random misfire.... Did you say yours was the 3.0L engine? I think that one has a distributor, so it is likely a problem within that unit... maybe a poor connection in the cap. Other possibilities are worn-out plug wires or a bad coil.
