Hi there I have this problem with my Astro, it would start and them abruptly stop, even when I'm driving (not good). The Alternator was test good, the fuel pump ok, the battery new. I was told by a tech the engine is ceased up?
That puzzles me/ How can it be ceased up if it starts them shuts down.
When it shuts down all the power goes and I have to get a jump for it to start again?
Hi
Sounds like you may have an earthing problem in the battery circuit. Do the headlights still work when the van stops?
I certainly dont believe that the engine os siezing up as somebody suggested to you. Would be very odd if that were to happen and the battery be flat at the same time. check all the connections from the battery to the chassis and also to the motor itself. Remove the connections and clean them till bright shiny metal, and then put a smear of grease on the nright metal to prevent corrosion.

When it shuts down all the power goes dead them the battery power comes back.
