Please help! Our van is not starting. It will turn over but it won't start. On a rare occasion it will start up after trying for awhile but it will putter then die. Could this be the fuel pump? We tried checking the fuel injectors and no fuel came out. Then after testing them and waiting a few hours it started, then died. We are at a loss. Please help!

Start with the basics, and work your way up, Last tune up was? Wires plugs ALL filters? If all that is ok, check for a stuck EGR, then test fuel pump pressure, If it won't restart, determine what's missing, the engine needs three things to run, Spark at all plugs, gas to all cylinders, and compression in all cylinders, tho an engine may run lacking one in one cylinder, it won't run very well!
