What size engine do you have? Have you tried cleaning the IAC and TPS? Can you give more details like, does it idle down then shut off or just stop without warning, does it start right up or trouble, when not in gear is it fine or die as well, when you come to a stop and keep your foot lightly on the gas will it stay on or still shut off? I'm just asking for more detail.

Also adding, is the check engine light on? And does engine stall as so as you put the transmission into gear?

I guess we were typing at the same time. It maybe the torque converter in lock up when it shouldn't.

I would see if the dealer can hook up a flight recorder and see it can take snap shot on whats making van to shut off.
