A friend just called with problems with their van. It will stall out while
driving - as if it had run out of gas. He's already replaced the fuel
filter and the fuel pump. The van will start right up again and drive for
unpredictable distances after this occurrence. Sometimes it will stall
several times within a few miles and then seem to run ok for a while and
other times it may only stall once.

Seems I recall reading something similar here over the past several months
but a google search didn't turn anything up.

Crank sensor - assuming its some sort of V-6.

Two follow up points that I should have supplied in my original post (brain
fart - comes with old age...)

1) it's a 3.4L
2) I suspected the crank sensor and was seeking confirmation

Thanks Paul - I appreciate the reply.
