Sounds like a fuel issue. Hook a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail and start the van. You should have at least 40lbs of pressure. Unfortunately for you, Dodge put everything in the fuel tank as a unit, so if it is just a plugged fuel filter you are still looking at a high repair bill.

SOURCE: Stumbles, picks up stumbles and sometimes dies out

700 is transmission control system malfunction. For now I'd concentrate on 108 which is M.A.P. sensor . Likely needs to be replaced but try cleaning connection at it first. Possibility that the transmission code, is an old one, or it's been tripped somehow by other problem, so unless it's experiencing shifting problems, I wouldn't get too worried about it right now. Once you've cleaned, or replaced MAP sensor, disconnect battery for a minute or so, re-attach, & try it and see how it works. Keep me posted.

2000 dodge caravan sputters and dies when comming to stop restarts ok takes back off untill you stop again

You will have to check the MAP sensor. It's like the o2 sensor. It's the reason our 2000 Caravan had issues for dying and some acceleration probs. New wires and plugs will help, too.
