On my way to work the other morning my Caravan started running rough and briefly quit runining. It was as if it was starving for fuel or oxygen. I got it onto the shoulder and popped the hood but did not notice anything wrong, I.e. belts, battery cinnection, leaks. After a minute or two I started it up and was able to make it to work. It did stutter a couple more times. When I fired it up after work it took several trys to get the motor to turn over, as if it wasn't getting any fuel? I should add I put a bottle of "Heat" in the tank because I was suspecting some bad fuel. I "topped off" the tank the day prior to this problem. After finnaly starting, I made it home with no problem. I have a 42 mile drive to work one way.

first thing i would do is replace the fuel filter and check the air filter. if that doesn't help then i would suspect the fuel pump going bad.
