Car trouble...it just dies..?!?
I have a '96 Caravan. Just put almost $1k in it, between radiator, struts, brakes, valve covers, other things as well that i can't remember. I've had it back for 2wks.
Yesterday I was on the freeway on cruise control. The best way I can describe it is, it "skipped." Twice. Kept going just fine, but it was like a hiccup or something. (Sorry I'm not very mechanical...)
On the way home from work last night I started braking for a stop light, & it just died!! I put it in Park & restarted it, & it started up just fine.
Same thing tonight on my way home from work. I put the brakes on for the truck in front of me that was turning, & again it just died!! Once again, I put it in park, & it restarted just fine.
Any ideas as to what's going on?? and about how much $$ I'm looking at?

it could be that when the valve covers were replaced that the throtle position sensor wires were pulled or some other wires? these vans are pron for wire problems.if check engine light ever flashed while driveing have the codes retrieved ?

Okay try this... before you apply break, put it in neutral. If it does not die, you have a problem with your clutch (applicable to both manual and automatic).
If it still dies, check your air filter and fluid level. I do not think it is a big problem, but get it checked before it becomes one.

Sounds like a clogged fuel filter or impurities in the fuel. Have the fuel filter replaced
