If you have an owner manual, it would most likely say there.
Also be considerate of the weight capacity of your floor jack versus the weight of the vehicle.
You should be able to lift up the Kia Spectra with your 2 ton floor jack, but I’m not sure of the Dodge Grand Caravan.Diagram
Although it’s a Dodge Charger.
From the diagram, it looks like the floor jack has to be done on opposite sides from “2-Floor Jack” as labeled.Frame
You may(or may not) see something like this, but it’s a safe spot for floor jacking.
I wouldn’t prefer having the jack contact that nut/bolt though but that’s just me and it is possible that it is safe to do so.If you have an owner manual, it would most likely say there.

Or in some occasions, it’s more mechanically, but I was able to crank it over(with foot on gas pedal, just not without).
No check engine light though, but the IAC was fairly clean/in good condition when I shown it to a couple ase master techs I know of(note I’m more entry level tech). It doesn’t stall anymore and there were no damaged or corroded wires either. I also do not need to apply throttle just to turn it over anymore. I got it verified(the next day) if the same people(the ase master techs) were able to figure out if something doesn’t sound right with the engine in idle and applying throttle but each of the three said no(with a visual inspection as well).
Once the idle stall disappeared, I tried a few times to see if I was able to get it to stall again after applying a bit of throttle and releasing but it does not want to anymore.
With that said, I’ll just have to keep an eye on it from time to time.

Thanks for the reply also.My boss was doing brakes service on a handicapped van. When the job was done, along with a oil change + inspection. I forgot to pump the brakes and started backing out, luckily there wasn’t a vehicle in the spot I was directly heading to. After hitting the brakes at least three times, I reacted fast enough and quickly said in my mind, “This is not working!”. So I slammed my foot on the E-brake and it stopped. So I sat there, head on my hands over the steering wheel for like 30 seconds and proceeded to pump the brakes. And it took at least four more pumps, along with the additional three, for it to kick in.
Another one was when I was doing a oil change, was putting the new filter it, but I ignored the unusual feeling upon the new filter installation. The unusual feeling was the previous O-ring filter left at where the filter seats in. Of course, it wasn’t fully seated in so upon cranking the engine, it made a huge mess down at the filter.
