Van Has A 5.7 V8 And Is Also A Box Type.
Engine shuts off intermittently, problem occurs under all different conditions. Shuts down after frist being started while idling when cold or hot, or while driving at normal operating temps, and when under load or no load. Seems to be related to the electrical system. I have had crankshft positioning sensor switches exhibit the same symptoms. Do you know the resistance values of the crankshaft sensor for this motor?
