Sounds like the ignition switch. $10. Replace. Then take off your key ring: pocket knives, measuring tapes, rabbit feet, bottle openers, small framed pictures of your sweetie at the beach, spare set of keys to Mom's, spare keys to the volunteer fire dept. truck, etc. Three or four keys only. Lots of keys bob and sway when your van goes down the road, wearing out the guts of your switch. G.

By nothing I meant it does not start. The fuel pump kicks on, lights go on ect. Everything but the starter.

Or that it cranks, but doesn't fire? What? G.
