Stalls at a stop

The most common cause is a dirty throttle body or a faulty idle air control valve.
The computer controls idle speed by regulating the amount of air coming into the intake.
Could also be a vac leak.

Van cuts in and out at stop sign or light runs fine when driving

If the idle speed is wandering, check the idle air control valve and the throttle body for dirt and varnish. The computer regulates the idle speed by the valve.

The problem I'm having with my 2001 ford windstar is when you go to start the van the engine turns and the car starts but it sound like it's out of gas and the car sputters then dies. I kept doing this...

My 2000 Windstar with the 3.8 liter V6 had a stalling problem when idling. It ran fine down the road, but stalled at intersections. The fix was to replace the Idle Air Control Valve. It is an easy to replace item, since it is held on by two bolts right on the top of the Air intake from the air cleaner. I tried to clean the old one, with spray cleaner, but it only helped a little. Since stalling at an intersection is dangerous, especially when you need to get out of the way of oncoming traffic, I opted to just buy a new replacement valve. You can get one from O'Reileys, Autozone, PepBoys, NAPA, et. It cost almost $100, but how much would getting hit cost if you could not get out of the way of oncoming traffic. Replacing it took about ten minutes. My Windstar is now reliable when I need to blast off from a dead stop after idling at a signal. My Windstar is the favorite family vehicle for mountain trips, beach trips, Vegas trips, and the surfboards, sleds, people all fit nicely.

Here is a link to the valve that I got a NAPA just to show you what a small simple, but vital, part it is.

My ford windstar 2001 act little funny while stop Idle

I'm not sure Ford calls it this but I suspect the Idle Air Control. If you have a chain auto parts store in your area, most will scan your computer to see if error codes are stored; call them first to see if they do this at that location.
