Hi,

At random my van won't start, it looks as if no gas is going to the
injectors, before crawling under the van, is there somewhere I could look to
troubleshoot, and maybe find why the gas won't come.

But it never appened that the engine stopped, without me stopping it!

This morning I took it to work, and at lunch time... can't start, but the
starter cranks OK.

Thanks.

yeah... you listen for the fuel pump 2 second prime with switch on, no crank.

But crawling under the car should be the first thing on your agenda, after
that... fuel filter.

Lotsa possibilities... from the TFI to a bad fuel pump

Check to see if you can hear the fuel pump run as suggested by
Backyard Mechanic.
If the fuel pump is not running you may have a fuel pump problem or a
problem with the power circuit to the pump. The next step is to check
for power to the pump.
I have found quite a few of these with no power to the pump due to a
faulty Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM). The CCRM is a solid state
unit that houses the fuel pump relay, cooling fan and A/C control
relays. The CCRM is mounted on the radiator support near the battery.

If you can hear the fuel pump running you will need to check for
spark, proper fuel pressure and injector pulse in order to determine
which steps to take next.

Good luck
