van starts nice, runs for about 30 min then starts to bough out and die. I can pump for gas a bit and it straightens our but will die again in 2-3 min. I replaced the throttle position sensor and didn't cure it. Could it be the fuel pressur regulator or o2 sensor of map sensor or something else?



well

If it was me I would start by checking the fuel pressure.

If its the fuel pressure regulator, on that at the back of the throttle body there is a vacuum line that goes to the regulator, if you disconnect it, and plug the vacuum line try that and see what happens. If it runs better, you may have a weak fuel pump. Or it may still die, if that's the case try running the codes to see if you can get anything from them.
Good Luck

Sounds like the fuel pressure. So that could mean the pumb. But theres a list of others also. Check with your mechanic.
