I was driving and everything seemed normal until it just lost power and died. It was like running out of gas but then I could get it to start and just idle, if I touched the gas it died and was really hard to get started only to repeat the same.
I have checked the fuel pump and it will deliver fuel, I have not checked the pressure. It does have spark, and both the Crank and Cam Sensors seem to be fine. The ASD relay seems to be clicking like it should. No error codes on the OD readout. All under hood fuses seem to be in good order.
I had a Dodge 360 sound real similar and it was in need of a timing belt. What are your thoughts?

Hi
Most likely low fuel pressure needs to be 44-54 psi. When was last fuel filter change?

I checked the fuel pressure and its 45 +. Filter is non serviceable for my year of van. What do you think would be the next culprit? Thank you very much.

Got fuel pressure and spark think need to find out if injectors are operating. If you can get a NOID light that would be great if not test light see if voltage at injector. If good have helper crank can you hear or feel injector clicking?
