2001 Grand Caravan Sport 3.3L Flex cuts out when accelerating to freeway speeds. Runs fine at idle and during lower speed travels.

Have checked for codes; none.

Where should I start diagnostics?

Check and test the following listed below

Oxygen sensor
Catalytic converter
Dirty fuel injectors (cleaning the injectors often fixes this).
Bad MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor
Bad TPS (throttle position) sensor
Bad or dirty MAF (mass airflow) sensor
Low fuel pressure (leaky fuel pressure regulator or weak fuel pump)
Vacuum leaks (intake manifold, vacuum hoses, throttle body, EGR valve)
Bad gasoline (fuel contaminated with water or too much alcohol)
