Electrical problem
2002 Chrysler Town and Country V8 Front Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
For the last couple of days when I get in the car to start it in the morning if I do not let it get to the middle of the temperture gauge and I put the car in drive it will cut off. But if I wait and let it warm up it will not cut off.

Do a back pressure on the exhaust on front of the converter, by pulling a front o2 sensor out. OR pull the sensor out and run it when cold to see if changes. Converter may be plugging.

Make sure you are using the proper octaned fuel.

Check for codes to see if any are present.

Disconnect the TPS and see if the symptoms change.

Verify fuel pressure is correct.

I would cover these first.
