Does the van start? Does it crank over? Is the batt full charged?

So the car will start fine then just shut off by itself, then it will start again?

When the car is not starting u will need to figure out if its missing spark or fuel. Hook a fuel pressure gauge up two it along with a spark tester. Good luck let me know!
