Engine Mechanical problem
2002 Chevy Express V8 Automatic 90000 miles

The 'check gauge' light stays on the panel and the van will not start. After moving the key to the start position and waiting for 2 minutes, then moving the key to actually starting, the engine DOES start. However, it intermittently will not start! It even stops while the van is being driven and will not start for a few minutes!

You have an engine management system problem. You need to scan the computer for OBD2 code/s this is your starting point.
