My van was running fine the other day then I went tried to start it and it wont start the key turns and it acts like it trys to start and you can hear the fuel pump trying to kick on, but then nothing we already replaced the computer, the coil pack and now are just stumped.

Sounds like your fuel pump has failed. Get a pressure test to verify.

Did you use a new or used computer? If used, remove it as it will never work unless it is flashed by the dealer. Put your old one back in.

Nope not fuel pump already put a new on one and you can hear that trying to kick on something is not letting it get a signal to start all the way.

I would not assume anything without knowing that number.

You need to check compression and spark as well.
