Driving down the road and my van literally shut off in the middle of the road. There is 3/4 tank of gas in it. I knew it was not that. I pushed it to safety. Would not restart. I checked fluids had it towed where I then replaced the ignition coil seeming I saw no sparks logical thinking, then I changed the fuel filter and pump. Still nothing. It acts like it wants to turn over but it is not pulling fuel. Any thoughts on repair?

Good morning.

The first thing I would check is the compression. You may have a failed timing belt which would cause this exact issue.
