My van was running fine and one day just died in the middile of the road. It felt as though I had run out of gas although the gas gauge said I had quarter tank still. I put new gas in just in case and could not get it to fire back up. I pulled the intake off and sprayed some starting fluid in and got it to start and run for 20 min or so then tried to drive it. No luck as soon as I left it would jerk and die. It did start back up a few times and then nothing? I have checked the fuel pressure at the nipple before the throttle body and I have 60 psi. There is spark at the coil and to the spark plugs but no fire in the hole. Tried to spray starting fluid again but can't get it to turn over now. Any help would be much appreciated.[/B]

Change them the filter may be pluged which is why it felt like you ran out of gas. Pressure is different from flow. Also the plugs may be fouled. Start here if there original they need replacement.
