Some kinda weird electrical problem. Bad battery, bad ground wire somewhere? Could it be a problem with the ignition switch or some fuses? Maybe it would help us to help you if we knew what year van you're talking about?

I'd think that giving as much background information would be crucial to assist in accurate diagnosis. The shop that worked on it left something loose, take it back and insist they do the job right.

understandable however this van ran for 5 days without problem then she just died. therfor goin back to a shop will cost even more monies. if somethin was lose there would have had problems sooner.

So, things can come loose. I had some new tires put on my car and a week later a tire came loose. I had the car towed to the shop that did the work, they paid for towing, new wheels studs, new rim, new brake rotor.

The neutral safety switch is inside the transmission. Your symptoms have no bearing on this part (spark)

NSS is located on the valve body inside the trans
u need to remove the pan to get at it

You should Check the wire and harness that runs around the valve cover under the PS pump
