I was on the floor as a tech for over 20 years and owned my own shop so take it for what ever you feels it is worth.
You more most likely do not have an oil psi problem or module problem.
You have what you first noticed and over heating problem, once the engine gets hot enough the engine oil will lose its viscosity and thin out to the point you will have little to no oil pressure.
Fuel will begin to vapourize in the fuel rail and the engine will stop.
Once cool it would seem to be fine however it will return.
I have no idea why you overheated but this type of problem will not go away on its own and a some point the motor will be damaged.
Those vans are famous for tossing head gaskets but it could be as simple as a fan relay, thermostat,needed flush, water pump and on and on.
you could also have an A.C problem if the secondary fan is not cooling the condensor when operated.
Long and short take it in before you need a motor.
Cheers
