Q: Van starts then shuts off.
Was driving one day completely normal, out of no where the van shut off. It would not turn on at all. Had to bring it home to the computer which said the crank shaft was the issue. Changed it, still was not turning on. Checked every fuse and pumps. Everything was good, google some stuff and it recommened me to check the computer. Took it to get it tested, it was really bad. Finally got the computer as well as programmed. Now the Van turns on but shuts off right after. The fuse are okay, fuel pressure is okay. Still not turning on. Already check the computer for a code and it does not show anything.
