My van did the same thing this past summer, and I took it to Autozone, and according to their scan tool my EGR valve was showing a faulty code. I was told it was probably caused by carbon buildup and I could try running a fuel additive to clean up the carbon, or take it to our local Valvoline Instant oil change place for a fuel system cleaning. The guy at Autozone said it was cheaper than having the dealer clean the fuel system, and the feedback he received from other customers had said that it worked for them. I ran a fuel additive for the time being, and the service engine soon light did not come back on, ( after the code was cleared from memory). They quoted me about $105 for the part. If you have a Haynes manual, they outline the location of the EGR valve. If memory serves me correctly,( my manual is out in my van unaccessible to me at the moment, ) the valve is towards the back on the driver's side of the engine. I found it in case I was going to have to replace it. I'm not sure if that caused your van to die, but if the valve isn't the problem, you have the option of trying to clean the carbon by the methods I mentioned above to see if that helps.
