van starts but dies
Sent to Car Experts September 22 10:16 AM

I have a 1995 dodge caravan 3 litter eng. The van starts and runs as long as I keep my foot in the gas. When I let off it dies. I can drive it down the steet but when I slow down for a stop sign it dies. I replaced the distributor cap and rotor. It helped a litle but not much. I put injector cleener and heet in the gas but no change. Want is the next step.

 

Optional Information:
1995 Dodge caravan 3.0

Already Tried:
Ditributor cap and rotor , iso heet, injector cleener
