Ok i have a 1999
have you checked crankshaft position sensor? located on side of the harmonic balancer (crankshaft pulley), unclip wiring harness on sensor and use 8mm socket to remove bolt holding it in place.
Pressing the rear latch release
If the actuator is working (You hear a "click" when you turn the key or push the button), one of the rods may have come disconnected from either the actuator or the latch. You will have to remove the upper door interior panel to gain access to these parts. If you are VERY careful, you may be able to remove it without damaging it, but you may end up having to get a replacement panel (Try your local salvage yard). The rods come from the factory with a plastic clip holding them into the socket. These deteriorate over time and allow the rod to pop out when the hatch is closed (Especially if it is slammed). Once you have the door open, you can reconnect the rod using a clip like the one pictured below, or by using a piece of "safety" wire attached through existing hole in the door panel to keep the rod in place. Hope this helps!
Car starts cuts off
This could be caused by a multitude of things. Is the check engine light on? Check the evaporative system for a vacuum leaks, the unit is on the drivers side under the van, to the left of gas tank. These vans also have a lot of problems with the distributor cap. When was the last time it was changed? Is there black smoke when starting the unit? If so it may be your pressure regulator or fuel lines going to the injector, or an injector itself is leaking.

did you check for a crank signal from the crankshaft sensor? the sensor is located near the balancer on the front of the engine.
