I have a Dodge caravan 2001 se 154000 KM every thing has replaced. like,
plugs, wires,PCV valve, new air filter, new fuel filter.
But still when stopping at traffic light it engines dies, i have to neutral and start again it start fine, but when driving sems to me not smooth ride, stop and go like, some thing stopping power,and then normal and then some time it runs ok but most of the time seems to me pushy.
Some body can explain what is wrong.

Is your egr valve one that is vacuum operated? If so did you check to see if the diaphram isn't busted and checked for operation by applying vacuum to it?
You could also try cleaning out your throttle body with carb cleaner. Sometimes carbon builds up and can cause this.

Are you getting an error code? If so can you post the numbers?

I clean throttle body with cleaner it was full of carbon i clean very gentely, now like new. Then drive down for test it was big difference in idling & gas, that misfire big gaps gone, but still i feel some kind of air gaps but very small, while driving, seems to me air suppose to come for engine is not that enough, what it suppose to,still trying to figure out.
Any suggestion will be welcome.

In cold weather its less hesitation, but in hot weather its more , when i press race pedal to Accelearate the van, around curves or at stop signs, it starts giving power gaps/ squeezing in power acceleration.
