The Van Starts and the shutts off, you have to keep accelerating if you take your foot off, it shuts off. even when keeping your foot it does not develop properly and makes dark smoke at the exhaust pipe. if you try to accelerate deeper, it makes sound like a explosion. The Fuel Pump does not cut when you start the even though the is not working.

Check for codes first but i am 99% sure you have issue with TPS and/or the MAF sensor..

would help to know codes either would cause running problems. Black exhaust and explosion indicates rich fuel mix
