   When engine quits and won't start, try putting a little gas in throttle body   
   and put air filter back on (to avoid fire), then try starting to see if it   
   runs for a few seconds.  That might be good test to know it isn't getting fuel   
   during those situations.   
     Sometimes hard to know if fuel or electrical is problem.   
      I think my 93 sonoma was acting up, cutting out at times a few years ago,   
   recalling as you mentioned fuel pressure. Someone told me that fuel pumps go   
   out gradually, used to be easy to replace too.  The in-tank variety can be   
   hard to get to.  A van    
   might have a cover on the van floor to access the top of the tank, and even   
   allow you to remove the pump assembly from the top of tank--a ring that turns   
   unlocks some tabs and then pump assembly lifts out, that part fairly easy.    
   New pump fixed my    
   cutting out, cost about $70 online.   
        When stumped, I go to a repair shop and get estimate how much to diagnose   
   problem.  They used to do that for around $100.  Then fix it yourself from   
   their advice.  They have better equipment and are used to solving mysteries.
