I have an 02 dodge grand caravan sport and had a diagnostic code done and it said I had multiple errors which were evaporation system fuel objectors o2 sensors Nd also fuel regulator and fuel pump and the gas cap.... the problem started last week three days it was difficult to start then one day it literally ate the gas and mileage was twelve per gallon the next day or so it was normal. Took and had a fuel pressure test done and it showed twenty. It's been ok the past two days. The rpm is maybe low. It's got the engine light on then the oil light will flash on and off if I accelerate up a hill. Is this something other than what is reading on the diagnostics or what do u recommend doing

First, make sure the oil is full. Next, I find it hard to believe that all those things went bad at once. I feel that the problem is coming from the EVAP system or the fuel pump and causing all the other issues to follow through and set multiple codes. I strongly recommend having a second opinion. If the shop wants to replace everything listed, they need to review the codes and start with the fuel system. Keep in mind, low fuel pressure could be causing everything except the oil light (unless the light only comes on at a very low idle).
