Default starts but wont stayrunning

I have a 95 caravan with a 3.0 motor. The Van was running fine when I parked it. It starts but won't stay running at an idle. If I give it gas it stays running, but as soon as I let off on the gas to let it drop to an idle it dies. No engine lights have come on. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

It sounds like we have the same issue, in my case, the MAP sensor was showing 2.8 volts at idle, i'm gonna try a new map sensor.

I've had it ICM cause a lot of other issues. My car is very picky with the tuning, so when I lost the ICM I had all I could do to get it home.
