It happens when i come to stop at a light or after i stop (for gas) and crusing down the highway it starts to cut off and i have to restart on road.
I think it is some sensor because i replaced:
Fuel pump - (in tank) It was going bad anyway as it turned out (no fuel pressure - not up to spec) so this was good
TPS throttle position sensor
Ignition Coil
Distributor Coil
Idle Air Cntrol
Rotor/distbutor
Plug wires
Plugs
Air filter.
Of course, It runs much better as these DID need changing but, it still stalls. Seems to be no way to predict conditions that occur to cause the engine
shutdown. I noticed the lights did go out once when it was about to stall. But that doesnt happen every time.
I dont have enough $ to replace all the sensors and / or the EMT computer (unless you know that is what is wrong).
The van usually starts back up but sometimes with difficulty. Sometimes I must turn off the key and try again to get it started. Otherwise, if I start
cranking it then it doesn't fire up. It's like it is not getting fuel, but, see details below for what I have replaced.
Anyway, no codes come back. it failed while on the analyzer and they still couldnt figure it out. I was told a relay could be bad too. I switched all the
identical relays around but no luck.
--------------
The parts I want to try next are expensive so I am trying to narrow this down:
Ignition Switch
Crank position sensor
Cam position sensor
MCU (computer)

PS. I did scan at auto zone and it returned the coil. I erased the codes in case it happened again and it has stalled hard a few times but now returns no codes. so, what returns no codes that could cause this van to stall?

why don't you have the computer scanned on it its free,and it will keep you from buying parts for it that you don't need,you can replace every sensor on it and still not get it right,seen it happen a few times,auto zone or advance will scan it for free,then you,ll at least know,your going to wind up replacing parts on it that it don't even need,more or less wasting money on it,good luck with it and merry x-mas.

I had the same problem with a chevy, turned out to be the fuel injector dumping in fuel, had to replace the whole system, about 350 dollars. No codes were showing either. I also had to replace my EGR valve, it was sticking and causing me to stall, I would floor the gas pedal and crank to clear the fuel, and it would start. Might want to check your emissions, do you have a charcoal canister? Could be the fuel return line that isn't clear. Good luck.

Get a mechanic to fix the vehicle for you. It's more than obvious you don't have a clue what you're doing. I'm surprised you haven't replaced the windshield wipers so you can see what you're doing!

just a shot in the dark....are you not getting lean codes? seen the gasket that seals the intake runners (underside of intake manifold) leak. causes a rought idle/stalling and burns oil... may be smart $ to pay a dealership or COMPETENT shop to accurately diagnose the problem and stop throwing parts at it and keeping your fingers crossed.
