My van just died on my way home,like it ran out of gas,pulled over and it started right up again, just to die again a short time after,started again, and died again in a few seconds,wouldn't start again after the third time,there was so much traffic I couldn't hear if the pump was coming on when key was turned,does this sound like a fuel pump problem....

Without checking it it seems like a fuel pump problem. Check the fuse and relay first.

Suggested Repair

The stalling symptoms point to a fuel delivery problem, likely the fuel pump. Check the fuel pump fuse and relay first before replacing the pump.
