Default 1999 caravan 3.0 hard to start and falls on its face

Just replaced the fuel pump thinking it was not getting enough pressure didn't help. After you get this thing to start it idles fine. Put it in gear its fine give it gas and bluhhhh it dies. Not all the time but sometimes. It does burn oil so could it be the 0 2 sen? or fuel filter? Also forgot to say the check engine light has not came on.

Welcome to DF
Try checking the fuel pressure,before doing any other repairs. There could be other problems, like fuel filter or crank sensor.
