Just bought Town country drove home parked 2 weeks . Starts right up then stalls repeat cycle will start up then dies?
First lets make sure it not the alarm issue.Roll down a window. key off engine off,remove battery cable,touch the two cable for 1 minute,reinstall cables. put the key in the ignition but dont crank it. Turn it to the ACC position and leave for one minute,start the vehicle.

vacuum leak..look to area behind air cleaner to intake .. snorkel area first..spray carb cleaner there after you start it to discover vacuum leak.... this is a guess .. but a good one... check first for hoses off/ leaking intake air sources and let me/us know

When you start the van, Does you gas, battery and tach gagues work? If you have an instrument display above for trip comuter (DTE, MPG) does it read anything?

Possibly faulty ignition module is the problem, stalls when engine is hot when you sit for a while it cools off and runs again until it heats up again, those are usually the symptoms of a bad ignition module and after a while it may give out all together and not run at all, usually if the module is at fault it shuts down the fuel pump so the engine don't load up with fuel, do to when engine continuously cranks over the injectors never stop squirting fuel and flood the engine do to lack of spark which is produced by the module, this could possibly be your problem.

Have you cycled key , on,off,on,off,on, leave on, & see if check engine light flashes out any codes? It will give a few quick flashes, then pause, then a few more flashes. For example: 3 flashes, pause, 3 more flashes, is code 33. 2 flashes, pause, 2 more, is code 22. Will always be in sets of 2 digits, then a little longer pause in between each. When you get 5, pause & 5 more, that's end of message code 55. Try it and get back to us. Have a pen & paper ready when you are ready.

It's got all the symptoms of a leak in the fuel line. You may want to start backward at the tank and work your way all the way to the carb to find it but it would be surprising if it was something else. All the best.
