    Not knowing much about the van, go over the complete electrical system. Check/replace:
    . Battery--ensure it's fully charged.
    . Fuses--use test light or multimeter to test all under-dash and under-hood fuses.
    . Check for codes.
    . Spark plugs--exact brand and plug no. that came with the van.
    . Coil
    . Spark plug wires
    . Ignition Control Module

    AutoZone should be able to check the coil and Ignition Control Module for free.
