For some reason twice now after sitting idle for 2 days the van won't start. Could it be a firing problem and hoping its not a fuel pump, just replaced it two falls ago. Is there certain sounds to listen for to check the fuel pump or when I held a screwdriver in the spark plug wire end making sure it contacted the metal in there and then against the metal part of the engine. Should I of seen any kind of spark, because I never did?
