Hi, I have a 1990 Caravan it wont stay started it will start for a second then run rough and die.
I have checked the fuel It is getting good pressure to the rail. I get good spark to the plugs.
i am not sure what could be causeing it to do this.
Is there a relay that could cause this problem even tho I have spark and fuel?
Or could it be something else.

Thank you for your time.

Just a quick update to thing I have added, i have change:
1 PLug Wires (They where bad)
2 ASD Relay (Was Good But REplaced it anyway 4.99 at autozone)
3 Cap and Rotor both had some carbon build up.

Results The car will run but it won't idel on its own I have to pump the gas to keep it running.
Even tho i think the pressure to the fuel rail is good I am going to replace the fuel pump today.
i will update with results.
If this dosent work I am going to pull each injector and test. The fuel pressure regulator seems good I do not have fuel in the vaccume port.
