Check engine light on when i step on gas hard truck jerks

engine lights refer to the engine AND the transmission faults. I would think that when you got the light there was a problem in the transmission ( probably the transmission control module TCM) and by stomping the gas you have a shift change problem causing the jerking.

2005 venture van misses when you,re at cursing speed. stalls out when stopping at a stop light. hooked up to a tester and it showed a bad crankshaft sensor. put one in and did'nt solve the problem

I guess I should start by saying the code did not say the sensor was bad. It probably said the sensor signal was out of range.
If replacing the sensor fixed the code but the engine still runs rough and stalls, it could be a leaking injector or a problem with the throttle body.
You would need to know which cylinder is causing the miss.

I have an 2000 audi a4 1.8 sometimes it wont start and even has shutdown while driving a few times. When I try to start the car and it doesn't start i notice an EPC light on dash. A friend told me it...

You need to scan the car. The fault light will be logging a fault and is the place to begin diagnosis.
The crankshaft position sensor can cause hot start issues when they start failing and is a good suggestion (and a relatively inexpensive part), but you should see what the computer thinks is wrong first and move forward from there

Car wont start

It sounds like this could be a common problem - usually this is caused by the crank sensor going out/bad. The sensor is mounted to the timing cover on the front of the engine.
The crankshaft sensor provides both engine speed and crankshaft position signals to the ECM. The sensor is a variable reluctance device, consisting of a bobbin coil with a magnetic core. The resistance of the coil is approximately 1.35 kilo ohms . The steel teeth on the crankshaft timing ring are used as a rotor. As the rotor teeth pass by the crankshaft sensor, pulses are generated.

The rotor has 60 tooth positions set at intervals with three teeth missing. The gaps identify the TDC position of the 6 cylinders during one complete engine cycle (two crankshaft revolutions). The rotor thus provides both engine speed and crankshaft position information to the ECM. The missing pulses identify crankshaft position. Each tooth pulse after the missing pulse represents of crankshaft rotation. Thus the frequency of the toothed pulses are a measure of engine speed.

Car dies periodically

The crank sensors for that car isn't that spendy at all. Being coolant and water had been dripping on the sensor, the electrical part of the magnetic pickup may have been damaged. Replace the crank sensor and all should be fine again.
