How do I keep my van from shutting off once it gets hot? I already changed the fuel pump and the fuel filter and it still shuts off after it gets hot.

Check the idle air control valve, EGR valve, TPS and MAP sensors to include a fuel pressure check

Also check for spark after it stalls. I just chased that intermittent problem for 11 months on my '88 3.0L and when it finally died completely after 22 years on the road, it turned out to be nothing more than the ignition coil. I had a whole list of symptoms that absolutely did not point to a spark problem but it has been running fine with a used coil.
