Question 93 ram 318 won't stay running

was looking for some help on my truck that I can't keep running. It starts will run for a bit then start spitting and sputtering if you goose it real hard can keep it running but if dies won't start back up unless you leave it set for awhile. The check engine light comes on when it starts running ruff. when I checked the codes I got 12,13,11,14 and 15. any ideas would be great

13 & 14 are MAP sensor. 13 is "problem with MAP sensor pneumatic (vacuum) system". 14 is "MAP sensor voltage too low or too high'.

You can start it and it will idle fine until you give it gas and it will sputter and then die and don't want to start unless u let it set for a bit.

maybe a plugged fuel filter? maybe a fuel line inside the fuel tank that is cracked and is sucking air? i've had this same problem on my '75 chevy grain truck...but those are ideas i'm going to check on it, so maybe those are ideads for you too. good luck.
