Engine Performance problem
1992 Dodge Caravan 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 174000 miles

engine will not stay running ...cuts out even whether hot or cold, when removing foot from gas pedal . Nothing wrong with vacuum lines, no mice under the hood building nests/blockage. Fuel line antifreeze has been added ... nothing different.

Your ignition and fuel systems have stored fault codes when these issues arise.
Sometimes you can tell the code in this manner.
Turn the key to on, then off, on, off, on again and watch the check engine light. All within 5 seconds, it can be repeated over and over.
It ends with a 5 and a 5. These nubers help a technician find a starting point to his diagnostic procedures. A single flash followed by three quick flashes would be a code 13, it is a map sensor, I used this as an example. Hope it helps, as the key codes were fairly accurate for hard codes in 92.
