Jerking can be a number of things, as you say you have cleaned the throttle body new filter for the fuel, when cleaning its best to change the air filter or at least checking it to make sure its clean and not blocked up. you can also sometime inadvertently dislodge something in the fuel line and this can limit the fuel, but i would thing it would show more signs, it could need the spark plugs cleaning, it could be a build up of carbon on the plugs and now the system is cleaner the mix is not igniting good, so i would check and clean them, lower rev's need a better spark. i would also check the breather lines from the cam to the intake especially the thine one as this can block up and limit the airflow into the engine. so really its just clean these parts and see if there is any change.

SOURCE: No Fuel at throttle body

If you think it's the pump ... Find your owners manual to find locations of fuses and relays ... First is this vehicle on level ground? Does it have sufficient fuel level (1/8 tank or more) then have an assistant turn on ignition switch to run position (not start) while you listen under the tank to hear a pump ... it may only make a noise for a few seconds ... is there fuel getting to the throttle body at the input line (it could be the injector) if there is fuel pressure at the throttle body/injector it may be the injector itself) >>>If no sound is heard ... first check for power at following locations >>> Fuses >>> Fuel pump relay >>> harnesses/connectors going to the tank from the front all the way back >>> connector at pump (tank likely will have to be emptied and removed, and you would rather avoid this if possible) >>>pump ... I don't suspect filter, as I've never had one suddenly fail completely

Check the vacuum shift modulator for a missing or leaking hose. The transmission control module can be sending faulty signals to the shift solenoids too.

Try cleaning your throttle body and changing your air filter. B 12 throttle body works well. Read instruction label for best results. And or a video on how to clean throttle body.

What causes the car to die when driving

A lot of different things could cause this, try cleaning out the throttle body assembly, that did it for me on a car that I was driving, start with the simple things, could need a tuneup, fuel filter, fuel pump not having sufficient PSI, ? Again start simple, and go from there.

2002 dodge grand caravan ex. when driving I get a hesitation, then when I am sitting at a stop light and try to take off the car dies or trys to die when I press on the gas. I have had this car tuned up,...

It can be many things but here are a few of the easier things to check. TPS sensor or the Throttle position sensor. I would remove this and wipe the eye with a dry rag and inspect to make sure it is clean. This is located on the throttle body and it should have an electrical plug going to it. The other would be to change the fuel filter because it may be clogged which is not allowing enough fuel to be transfered to the engine. I hope this helps :)

Does anyone know any ways to improve gas milage in a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan V6 engine

the best ways are still the old ways,
keep it tuned up,new wires,air filter,fuel filter,keep throttle body cleaned out,keep tire pressure at 35psi,
and you can see if your mileage increases by burning one tank of the middle gas instead of the lowest octane.

check all vacuum lines to make sure none of them are off especially the one behind the throttle body and also try some STP gas treatment in the gas tank make sure you have aleast a half a tank of gas when adding it and then finish filling it up
