Van was running fine and then one day it wound not start it turns over but wont start. I can put gas in the intake and she starts right up and as long as I don't shut her off for very long she starts back up. PLEASE HELP ME! Could it be the ignition coil?

I think you need a new fuel pump. It sounds like it isn't getting enough fuel pressure to start it. I call them lazy fuel pumps. Check fuel pump pressure and dropoff. Let me know what you find.
