Question 2000 Caravan ,3.0 stalling

hi all , I am new here , but I have a 200 dodge caravan with a 3.0 engine, sometimes , but not always it stalls , it happens when you are taking off from a stop sign or lights , it can happen cold or hot engine , but then days or weeks can go by without a problem , i switch fuels , still the same , there is a slight surge I feel at speeds of 50 to 60 mph , clean thottle plates , no help ,, I hope i can find out from this site what you think ?

see if the fuel pressure regulator diaphram blew out. Remove the vacuum line and see if fuel comes out the nipple when running.
