Car would not start after being off for about 1 hour. No problems prior. Finally pumped gas once and it started. About 4 blocks down the road car shut off while driving. Parked it but didnt even have power to close windows but lights were working. Waited about 10-15 minutes and car started again. Home was only 1 block away. Now im thinking alternator but I also noticed that my abs light signal and brake signal had come on when it restarted so could it possibly be more of a wiring issue?

Check the sensors on the throttle body. There is a sensor that controls air to fuel ratio. If that sensor is bad then the car will run and then stall out while in drive. I had the same problem when it was cold outside last winter. If you dont want to dish out the money without knowing if it is that part at fault or not then start the van pop the hood and located the throttle body. Place your hand on the sensors and give them a little shake and then make sure they are plugged in all the way. You could also turn the van off and unhook the sensor clean the connectors and plug it back in. That should do the trick and if it doesnt stall anymore then I would replace those sensors if I was you. One more thing. If your giving the sensors a tug while the car is running and you hear it going to stall you could located the gas pedal cable and give it a rev or two by hand so it doesnt stall out and turn off. By the way. You van isnt over heating at all is it?
