Road Agent; I don't know if this is the same problem, but back in the late 70's early 80's some of the fords had a problem that sounds alot like yours. The car would run fine, then cut out and quit running, no spark. Mechanics had a heck of a time trying to figure out what was wrong. What it ended up was the brain, So after it got some age on it and got a little hot they would cut out. So when people started having the same problems and would come in complaining, What we did was take a hair dryer put it on high heat and blow it on the brain or computer box with the car running. If the car cut out they had a bad brain and we would replace it. hope this will help you.

Road Agent; Yes they would, after they cool down they start right back up. And after they get hot again they'll do the same thing all over again.

Road Agent;Sometimes the brains will go completely out and they won't start at all, and others will only start once in a while. Those darn things can be hard to diagnose but, since you've done everything else I'm leaning towards the computer, maybe he has a friend with the same kind of van where he can swap out the brains and see if it does the same thing. Or if not maybe he can get one from the junk-yard cheap and check it out. Does he know for SURE that it's getting fuel when it cuts out? If not it he could have a vapor lock problem with the fuel pump. Just something to throw in the works. Hope this help you, at least we've givin it a shot.
