How do I get my Vans alarm to stop it's 1998 Dodge caravan
I think '98 or '99 is when Dodge starting using transponders in their Keys (try googling it). It may be time to call a locksmith to cut and program a key for you as it sounds like your transponder is not recognized and initiating anti theft. A locksmith should be able to do this if they have a programmer for that age vehicle, I kind of doubt a dealer would help since it is 23 years old. I had a Ford probe that my key broke and the dealer couldn't help as it was over 10 years old, luckily it was not chipped and I glued then cut it on a old manual cutter at an Amish hardware store.

WHAT IS THE FUEL PRESSURE SUPOSE TO BE ON A 98
The fuel pressure should be 49 psi. On all engines except the 3.0 liter you can check the fuel pressure at the fuel pressure test port located on the fuel rail. On the 3.0 liter engine you can disconnect the quick-connect fuel line fitting at the fuel rail and install a fuel gauge with a (T) fitting and adapters to check fuel pressure. Start the engine and check the fuel pressure. Hope this will help.

check the vacuum hoses for any splits or breaks
or if you disconnected any
Smoke test would be ideal

My 98 dodge caravan would cut off while I was
Very possible its is a bad IAC (idle air control motor) issue which controls the idle. its a common problem and they do wear out, also when disconnecting the battery the computer forgets the idle settings and needs to relearn the idle .
