The problem has to be either in the fuel delivery system or ignition system respectively. U need to trouble shoot those two areas to locate source of problem. For example, if your fuel pump is not running no way your engine gets gas and runs. If not running, why? Is the motor bogus or is it not getting power? Coil(s)?, fuses, filters, switches in line, etc.

Basically you have to be a good thorough detective and leave no stones un turned.

Diesel engine runs then stops then runs stops every few minutes

Mate I use to drive a freightliner and it cut out on me one day, I eventually got it started but cut out again after about 5 minutes, I rang a mechanic to come out and he found a heat sensor wire came off the radiator and that caused the motor to cut out... Hope I haven't wasted your time.......

That light is to let you know there is an issue with the Throttle system and there is reduced power. Check for codes with a real scan tool, not a code reader.

Engine acts like it is out of gas keeps stalling i can turn it off for a few minutes will run for a mile or two then does it again

Vent valve has failed closed or cannister is clogged up. Have the evap system checked from the tank to the charcoal canister. If you need to drive to a mechanic, try driving with the gas cap loose.

Let the car run & look for any puddles of fuel under the car, if nothing shows up it may be a vacuum leak sucking engine fumes into the car.

The engine on my 2000 MPV cuts out and dies when I press the accelerator. After it sits for an hour or so, I can travel for 20 min. or so before the problem starts again. HELP!

if its been a while change the fuel filter and then have the fuel pressure and volume checked.these symptoms are very common for a fuel pump problem.

okay try this....talk to your parts store and get a battery load tester, and find out if the battery is indeed dead. My guess is it sounds like the Altenator is dying. they are around 50-100 and can be install by a pro in minutes.
