1997 chrysler town and country dies at random and takes a few to restart

Oil light comes on ( has plenty of oil ) and the van dies, then after sitting for a few minutes it starts and runs fine, but the check engine light comes on for a lil while then goes off. it does this every few days at random times.

You must have a fault test run on the engine control computer (called an OBD2 fault code scan), there is likely a fault code or two stored that will help diagnose the problem.

SOURCE: fans for radiator wont stop running

The lite came on because the computer saw that there was no power to the cooling fan curcuit. That is monitored by the computer. But to be sure you should have someone read the code for you. Or you can disconnect the battery and it will clear the code. If the lite comes back on the computer is still seeing a problem and you should have it check.

SOURCE: 1997 chrysler town & country was cutting out,died,now wont start

you need to put a scanner on it and see what code comes up.
my guess would be the crank sensor which is very common .

Why does my oil light keep coming on and dinging?

You need to take your van to a repair shop or garage and get the oil pressure checked with a mechanical guage. It sounds like your oil pump could be going bad. This could cost you an engine if you aren't careful.

I have a 1996 Chrysler 3.8. town and country mini van

The oil pressure light probably came on when the engine stopped.
You would have lost your power accessories then too.
Someone will need to figure out if you have lost fuel to the injectors and/or spark to the plugs to know where to look for the problem.

I have a 95 town and country the gauges are not reading correctly the oil pressure reads really high when driving for about 10 minutes then levels out I just had an oil change my fuel gauge will sometimes...

If the check engine light is not on, stay away from sensors for now. First when is the last time you have had a tune up? PLugs , wires, air and fuel filter. Stalling at a stop can be from the air filter, fuel filter (clogging up), It can also be from the catalytic conveter, these also clog up. It can be from vacuum leaks, this usually has a rough idle also. It wouldn't hurt to check for codes, intermittant codes don't always pop the light on. On some vehicles the o2 sensors can cause a rough idle and stall at stops, ut they usually set a code/ light.

97 chrysler town & country dies while driving will only start when in park, runs fine but dies without warning and will restart in park???

Well first it should only restart in park or nuetral, any check engine light on? May be fuel pump if not. Listen for pump running in fuel tank. Should run at key on for a few seconds. If check engine light on, it should be scanned for codes, possible crank sensor

What kind of promble would I have with this van got it for 3000.00 been sitting for a little bit.

Depends on Sitting for a little bit time duration.

Issues are dry seals, then leaks, but most important is oil consumption... if no excessive oil usage, you can be good to go.
