I had the the map sensor changed and the throttle position sensor now my car still does the same thing. And now the van runs better with the map sensor unplugged and the computer still reads map sensor but still bucks and stalls out sometimes.
This generation of Caravans had a problem with the fuel injection wiring harness.
The problem is excessive heating of the harness and the poor quality of the insulation on the individual wires located within the harness. The spot to check is located where the engine FI harness plugs into the body fi harness just behind and below the ign. coil.
It is located near the exhaust crossover and once repaired should be relocated.
Examining the harness will not revel the deteriorated wires located within the harness. You must cut open the outer harness covering on the engine side of the connector to see the wires and make the repairs.
Sometime you can re-insulate the individual wires with tape but it's best to replace the engine FI harness and it's not hard to do.
Ebay sells the harness for about 125/150 bucks.

SOURCE: stalling at lower speeds
sounds like idle air control valve, a 4 wire connector and two screws on throttle body.

cable is fine,can be the tps but try tapping on the idle air valve and see if the idle kicks up,it works like a choke and if its stuck its a big vac leak

Inlet air temperature sensor, also known as throttle body temperature sensor, will do that. Don't go changing TPS, or IAC, as suggested in other post. If they work good in warm weather, they should do the same in cold. Air inlet sensor tells system how much fuel to deliver according to temperature, as engine needs more fuel the colder it is when starting.

if I am not mistaken that is the code for the engine temp sensor, it kind of works as a choke, it tell the computer the ngine temp so it can lean out the fuel mix. I think the code says engine is taking too long to warm up. A faulty sensor will read -40 C all the time
SOURCE: p0106 and p0107 codes are coming up on 2001 dodge
have you checked the egr system and check for a vacuum leak???
