Check the positive side of the battery for a burnt fusible link. It looks like a wire but when it's over loaded if burns in half. Look at the pos. battery side of the starter solonoid you'll see a few of them there. Check your ignition module as well. This controls the coil and distributor and is mounted to the driver side inner fender.

Try a new relay first. This may not be good news if that does not work. If you can find the EEC (computer) and unplug it, then replace the fuse-if it blows you have another cheaper part on the circuit thats bad.
If the fuse does not blow, then the EEC must be shorted.
If you have to replace the EEC you may find a kindly dealer with a cash-for-clunker sitting there to violate. Salvage yards have them, Ebay sells them. I have seen them at swap meets for $20. They are a high price part even rebuilt at Dealers or autoparts stores.

My fuel pump stops working after the van runs for a little while!

Did you clean the tank when replacing the fuel pump? Not cleaning the tank is the #1 cause or repeat fuel pump failures.

I have change the rear differential but now the van will not start so I changed the fuel pump but it still will not start all the fuses and relay are good

Assuming that the van ran before you changed the differential, I would make sure that you are getting power to the fuel pump, and getting fuel to the engine. If you are getting fuel to the engine, then the fuel delivery is not the issue and you will need to go from there.
I hope that you have found this information to be useful, and if I can be of any further assistance, please let me know. Thank you for using fixya!

I changed the fuel pump but the van still won't

And you know the fuel filter is good? Could be injector problem: just as a check, spray some starting fluid into the intake and see if engine runs a few seconds. If it does, it is a fuel problem. Check injector fuse, as a start. Check fuel pressure. Check injector circuit. If engine won't start with starting fluid, check if you are getting spark. Problem may be in the ignition system.

2001 ford windstar, van has been setting for a year, got my license back and went to start the van, no fuel pump noise, replaced fuel pump, started just fine drove it around for a day parked it now wo

Can you hear the fuel pump run, if not it may have failed again. I have seen new fuel pumps last a day or two and then fail. If your pump is working then replace the fuel filter. Anytime you open the fuel system, you should replace the filter.

I HAVE A 1986 GMC VANDURA 3500 CARGO VAN,ALWAYS TURNS ON WITH NO PROBLEM,OK HERES THE THING.MY GAS METER WENT OUT RECENTLY SO I DROVE IT AROUND ALL WEEK BASICLY JUST TRYING TO EMPTY THE TANK SO I CAN FILL...

If the fuel level is very low and the van is not level it's not going to start even if the pump is good.
When you turn the key to on you should hear a fuel pump noise for 2 to 3 seconds if the key has been off for at least 10 seconds,and when cranking or the engine is running the pump runs because there's oil pressure sending power to the pump.
Have someone listen back at the tank.No Noise?then it might be time for a fuel pump.
Your fuel filter may be just ahead of the rear axle on the passenger side under the van.
But.....if your gas gauge went out and now your pump quit,maybe the wiring back at the tank is corroded?

Went to a store came back out would not start but strong battery,im tinking fuel pump dont know alot about car only had it a week

stand outside your van,reach in the window and turn your key over,but not to the start position. you should hear a whirring sound from the rear of the van and it should last about 2-3 sec. this will be your fuel pump powering up. if you dont hear it,then you have a bad fuel pump. Dodge Caravans from 96-01 are VERY bad about eating fuel pumps. if the pump is fine,have someone try to start it while you look under hood and see if injectors are spraying fuel. if the pump is good,and you have no spray from the injector,then you have a clogged fuel filter which will need replaced.

1993 Chevy Astro Mini Van not starting

if your mini van has a 4.3 litre engine v6, when you turn the key on you should be able to hear the electric fuel pump start. the fuel pump is inside the gas tank,if you hear the pump you might want to change the fuel filter. The thing about computerized engines and a throttlebody is that you need a fully charged battery to start work with.
