Locks-We had a similar issue with our 2002. Turned out to the be the wires in the boot between the door and body of the van. They had rubbed themselves raw and were shorting out.
Dies-Sounds like a fuel delivery issue to me. Hard to armchair diagnose without some more details on the van. How many miles, what maintenance has been done, any recent work done?
