I have a 95 dodge caravan that dies while I'm driving it. It doesn't happen all the time and it doesn't matter if I have my lights and heater on or if I just start it up in the morning it just dies. Also some mornings when I start it it starts right up and other mornings is starts and then immediately dies so it takes a few tries. Also when the van does die when I'm driving it always starts right up. Please help me I can not afford to take it to a mechanic.

You didn't provide the exact engine size, etc.:

. Replace the platinum spark plugs (Champion only) with the exact numbered plug that came in the vehicle, if you have more than 35,000 miles on them.

. Replace the Ignition Control Module:

I replaced my air filter and cleaned my distributor cap. Runs good now except for my breaks.
