My van will shut off after about ten minutes and will not restart for a day or so. Replaced PCM, coil, cap, rotor, map sensor, plugs, wires and fuel filter. Same thing.

When it stalls and will not start, check to see if you are getting spark and fuel to the engine. One will be missing. Once that is determined, you will know which system on which to focus.

Missing both. Cleaned the sensor under distributor and it started, but after about ten minutes stalled out again. Pick under the distributor is new, also new fuel filter.

If you lose both fuel and spark, it sounds like an automatic shut down relay issue. Check under the hood in the power distribution box and locate the ASD relay. Switch it with another relay having the same part number and see if it makes a difference.
