Question please help anyone?? 92 plymouth voyager check gages light

Hi everyone,
I need any help that you could possibly give. I am at my wits end with my 1992 Plymouth Grand Voyager LE. 3.3 litre V6 motor. I don't know very much about cars and stuff so I havent been able to figure out what to do or where to turn now. I have had so many things replaced and so many people look at my van including the Dodge/Chrysler Dealership and NOONE can tell me whats wrong with my van. My transmission went out so i paid to have a rebuilt transmission put in it. One week after it was put in the check gages light started coming on. It comes on when the van is in gear and most of the time it only comes on when i am at a stop, red light , stop sign etc...if i turn on my lights or air condition or rear defroster i lose amprage and oil pressure then the check gages light comes on. it has come on before without any of these things on also though. i was told it was my altenator so i had the altenator replaced. that didnt fix it!! i had a new drive belt put on and still nothing. my power steering pump a week later went out but again i had it replaced and still did not fix it. i called the dodge/ chrysler place and they told me they thought it was my clockspring but as im sure you can guess they were wrong and again it didnt fix my van!!! I called them back to let them know and they said that the person who put the transmission in must have crimped a wire then. So I sent that transmission back just to be sure and got another one and had it put in and still didnt fix it. I also took the altenator back because i thought maybe it was a bad one but again no dice!! I took it to the Dodge/ Chrysler place this time to let them do a diagnostic and electrical check on my van which costs yet even more money for 2 and a half days they kept it and said they had their best technician on it and that he was the best electrical guy around!!! they called me back and said they didnt know what was wrong with my van but that they thought it was most likely the Idle Air Control Valve. It was replaced and guess what it did not fix my van. They told me to come pick the van up and that they didnt know what else to tell me. I have 3 kids and have no means of transportation other than this van. They are supposed to be professionals and they cant even help I dont know what to do or where to go from here. If anyone has any ideas as to what might be wrong causing me to lose amprage and oil pressure and the check gages light to come on i would so greatly appreciate it or if anyone knows where i can go for help on this. ANYTHING at this point. the further i drive it the more times it goes dead on me and at first i could drive it a pretty good distance before check gage light came on but now i can drive maybe 4 to 5 miles if that and it does it. I know this has been a very lengthy message but i was trying to not leave anything out. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE is there anyone out there that knows about this or had the same problem or knows how to fix it or what will fix it. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant go out and just buy another car because with all of this and 4 new tires on it I have spent well over $3,000.00 on this van in the last 3 months with the transmission and trying to find the problem that im almost broke now. Thank you so very much for listening and letting me vent .
Thank you,
Connie
