    Yes, your comments were helpful, however the solution was dropping the tank, removing the fuel pump (new) and replacing it with one of that had the correct pressure pressure for the vehicle. (parts store error, only had 12 psi.)

    Thanks for the help, John

You'll have to figure out if it is a fuel or ignition problem to proceed.
Is the check engine light on ? Have you checked for trouble codes ?
It could be a relay, the ignition module, coil, fuel pump blockage, or a list of other things. Is the oil pressure light on ?
If this is a vortec engine, it requires 60psi or more of fuel pressure to run. Have you checked the fuel pressure and is it enough ?

    Glad I mentioned the pressure requirement. Getting the wrong pump for a Vortec engine happens all the time.

sounds like its not getting its initial shot of fuel to start. thier is either one or two sensors that control that. go to your local auto parts store and they can tell you more and get the right part.

Check your catalitic converter, you might start with an oxygen sensor first. your local muffler shop can do a temp check on the converter for you, but you can replace the oxgen sensor your self pretty easy.

before you drop tank again, check fuses & relay.then disconnect fuel line @ filter turn key to on position should hear fuel pump run and get gas stream out of line. if no flow from line new pump faulty be sure & remove negative battery cable first good luck.

Check all of the cables near intake. Make sure all of the sensors are pluged in.  Since if sensors have plugs that are loose than you could have a problem of inconsistent runing.

No fuel and no spark

fuel pump , fuel pump relay on fire wall, fuel filter, may all need replaced, pump in tank, inspect all wiring in this circuit, especially all grounds,, grounds get overlooked & that is sometimes the problem. I have a 1988 gmc 2500, I 'm talking from experience. can you hear if fuel pump runs for 2 seconds, when you turn key on ? if not, ground problem or pump problem. relay has a fuse in it, check that. check all fuses. NOW, spark ! coil ? plug wires ? distributor cap & rotor ? replace them if you haven't !!!!!!!!!! get to work, see how you do ! good luck !

When starting the van some times it works and some times not. When driving it runs fine one minute and all of a sudden it dies, truns off. These are the things I have done so far changed the distributer...

If ignition and spark seem to be ok, it's time to look at your fuel system. When you say "turns off", if all electrical power seems OK, check the fuel pressure for faulty pump, plugged filter or faulty regulator.

Engine not getting fuel

might look at the spark plug wires and plugs make sure none of the wires are burned or cracked destributer cap could also be a culprit or the rotor or the coil .
