Will not stay running, engine stalls while driving?

Thanks Steve. We will give it a try.

Steve W. We replaced the EGR Valve and it has taken care of the problem. Much, much cheaper fix than replacing the TIPM.

Not sure if it was plugged or stuck open. Mechanic had done some other research and found that this could be the problem. Said they had another Chryler vehicle in lately that had the same problem so thought it could be the same for ours as well. Sure enough, it was. Hopefully others with the same problem in the future could give this a try before replacing the TIPM.

Greatly appreciate all your help and input.

While driving, the car looses all power and shuts down. Power steering/power brakes do not work and you have to coast to a stop. Traction /Stability control light comes on instrument panel. After stopping and shutting the ignition off, the car will start right back up.

This is starting to occur frequently.

The check engine light has not come on.

We've replaced battery and new wheel bearings recently.

The vehicle is listed above Grand Caravan, 6 speed automatic transmission with approximately 169,000 miles.

The engine shuts at random but usually at idle or deceleration. Unless the ignition switch is reset to accessory or off, cranking speed is very slow. Upon reset of switch to the aforementioned positions cranking speed is normal and engine restarts immediately. The throttle body was replaced by the mechanic. No codes except catalytic converter which has been replaced twice with the code returning within a few thousand miles. The engine does use oil which I believe is valve guide caused (light blue smoke, engine compression decent). There is some knock at partial throttle when climbing a hill. Vacuum is fairly steady at 20.4. No misfires detected by scanner. Timing at number one cylinder does fluctuate 7 to 10 degrees at idle. Transmission shift points seem normal although never the smoothest transmission I have known.
Acceleration to highway speeds and maintenance of highway speeds doesn't seem to be a problem until stall at deceleration which occurs at irregular intervals (Days, hours or minutes). Will any diagnostic systems be able to track this down or is this a comprehensive technician study problem? I have read several forums which indicate this is a common problem with these vans but they are usually complaints with few or no resolutions to the problem. I am 67 and have driven some lousy vehicles but this one has become a scary amusement park ride.

My van has stalled twice while driving on the interstate. It is just like I had truned the key off. All power is lost. I found where other people had the same problem on the internet but no solution.

Do you have any idea what the cause could be?

I made a donation last time but did not receive an answer to date.

Thanks,
