Engine Performance problem
1996 Dodge Caravan 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 120000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
My wife was driving our van home from work and she pulled into the gas station and it stalled. Tried to restart and let it idle it would die again. She tried once more and if she keeps on the gas pedal it will stay running. She drove it home that way. I started the motor later and it will idle until the motor gets warm then it dies out again unless u keep giving it gas. There really is no check engine light but when it dies out and u leave the ignition on, the oil light eventually comes on. No other light is on. Is this problem a sensor problem, electrical or more?

For a start check the idle air control motor/throttle position and manifold absolute pressure sensors-also the PCV and EGR valves.
