I bought this van two days ago, drove it home about an hour drive it started fine no hesitation and it was ok, try turn it on yesterday and it did not start, all electrical power seems fine, it cranks up with a lot of juice but it will not start.

If it cranks good, but, won't start. Have a helper crank it, while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If you have spark everywhere, check fuel pressure.

See if you can check for mil codes. On early obd2 chrysler vehicles, some models, you still may be able to check mil codes. Turn key just till the dash lites come on, no further. Cycle the key, on--off, on--off, on, then the mil on the dash starts flashing, you count the flashes to get the codes. Your looking for two digit codes.
