Question dodge van ram V6 problem the vehicle stalls while driving

hi guys,
I have a recurring problem with my car:
dodge van ram 1500 V6 3.9L Gas years: 1998
my van stalls randomly after start engine ...
and sometimes I do not restart I have to wait several minutes, there is no error code and several parts have been changed such as: radiator, ECM, spark plug, ignition head, panel fuse and pomp gas checked,

Someone would have a little idea or know about this problem
sorry for my english
thanks

Possibly cam or crank sensor. I would lean more toward the crank sensor. Mopar sensor only please, these engines don't like aftermarket sensors.

I had this same issue and a new crankshaft position sensor solved it. Other less likely possibilities are the ASD relay, a failing fuel pump, or a failing PCM.

Alternator?

Is it hard to restart when warm, cold, or always?

A failed crank or cam sensor just won't send a signal so the computer doesn't know there's a problem. I'll bet it mostly fails as the engine warms up. Classic heat soak problem.

Are you sure? There is a code for each.

By example, if the crank position is unknown, that will throw a code P0320 (11)
