1 Electrical System problem of the 2003 Chevrolet K1500

Failure Date: 06/16/2014

Traveling 25 miles home on interstate van had been cutting out if I pull over stop wait, can re-start and go a while. Cant predict it seemed to stay running if I went faster big mistake moved to pass it quit, at interstate speeds almost had to go into medium after yelling and waving arms and praying I got back into the right lane pulled off onto shoulder and went to pieces. It then stopped more and more finally got home and have not touched it since. I have been reading about similar events and it seems it is the crankcase positioning sensor. I am just happy to be alive. Need to fix it and sell it. Thanks for listening I am senior citizen.
