1994 Dodge Caravan 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

ok I was driving home one night all of a sudden my radio kept turning on and off so I shut it off then all of a sudden my lights started dimming and I lost all power to my car we jump started it a couple of times then switched batteries for my moms mustang battery it fired right up drove home and as I got there it started to loose power again. I charged the battery over night it kept the charge and now the car will crank but not turn over all the way. It does sound like it wants to start what should I check before replacing a bunch of unneeded parts

Welcome to the forum, make sure the battery has a full charge and the connections are good. Also check the charging system. If the vehicle cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs. If you have spark everywhere use a gage and check fuel pressure. You should be able to check for some codes by cycling the ignition switch. You turn the key just till the dash lites come on, no further. On-off, on-off, on, then the check engine lite starts flashing, you count the flashes to get the codes.
