Hello please help my astro van turns off when I stop at a light and when I turn it on. Some times it stays on then it turns off, I need to idle it so it doesnt turn off. I changed the spark pluges, put a carbu kit, and cleaned it throughly, also cleaned the dist. Cap. The thing is that I drive and it turns off, or I start the van and it also turns off, not all the time please help me. Becuase we are leaving this week in a road trip and we need the van. Thank you God bless.

Check the fuel pressure to rule out a failing fuel pump if okay could be the coil, distributor pick-up coil and ignition control module, also could be the ignition switch.
