Maintenance/Repairs

While driving on the freeway, near the end of a 90 minute trip, the van (2008 Toyota Sienna) loses power. Tach remains around 2k but no power gets to the wheels and I am, in effect, coasting. Power steering drops out. Then the engine stalls. No check engine light then or now but the light is working.

After a few tries, the engine restarts. I make for home, the same thing happens again. Again, I get it restarted and I am able to make it home.

That was last night and the van is currently parked.

What happened? How can I fix it?
