Hi I got a 1997 dodge grand caravan. Sometimes when the van is being driven for a while it will start to act like if its gonna shut off. When it does this most of the time the van shuts off and I have to wait like 30-45 minutes for it cool down and it will start right back up again. Its happenning more and more. Ive changed the ignition coil pack, spark plugs etc. First they told me it might me the fuel pump, then ignition pack. I changed the pack and it still does the same. The dashboard lights up as if the car is always empty (no gas) even if the tank is full. The cruise control lights stays on. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated
