How much DIAGNOSTICS have you performed?
Try This------->
With a note pad and pencil, sit in the driver's seat and turn the ignition key to the ON position, but do not start the van. Then turn the key OFF, then back ON and then OFF, then finally ON, all within 5 seconds.
Now pay very close attention to the "Check Engine" light. It will begin to clash, something like Morse code. There will be flashes in sequences containing flashes, pauses, flashes, longer pauses, etc.
An example-----> ***, pause, ****, longer pause, ****, pause, **, etc.
In the example, there are three flashes followed by a pause, then four flashes, or "34", a longer pause, then a "42".
Pay close attention here. You can't space off. You will only see the flashes one sequence at a time. If you think you missed something, or if you get distracted, or if you just aren't sure, turn the key OFF for > 30 seconds, and start again.
If you haven't disconnected your battery, there should be computer generated codes related to the cause of the engine just dying.
Refer to a repair manual for the car (available at the parts store for < $20.00) for the code descriptions, and the proper DIAGNOSTICS to perform BEFORE the repair.
If you follow the diagnostic routine before attempting repair, you will most likely repair the problem, not the symptom, and only need to do it one time, which will save you a great deal of time, money, frustration, effort, ignominy and probably embarrassment.
Happy Motoring

There may be something in the gas tank. One time I had a car that shut down at all different times. It would run great, then quit. It turned out to be a peice of cellopane in the tank. It floated around and then would get sucked up against the fuel line and it would block the fuel flow.
Your problem sounds just like mine.
