My van sat for two days during a big rainstorm, I went to start it and it made the click, click like it needed a jump, so I got a jump from my neighbor, then it just was trying to start but not turning over I called roadside assist they said it was a fuel problem, so first, changed ignition coil wasn't that, then fuel pump wasn't working, changed crank position sensor. Still won't run, any help input, thinking of changing out the computer any suggestions, before this happened canny ran fine, no check lights on? What to do?

Hold on. You're jumping all over the place without actually diagnosing anything. Did you hear a single click each time you turned the ignition switch to "crank", or was it a constant, steady ratcheting or buzzing sound? Those are two vastly different symptoms with very different causes and solutions. What do you mean by "trying to start" but "not turning over"? How can it try to start if it isn't turning over? Did the engine crank or not? If it's not cranking, why are you replacing parts in the ignition and fuel systems? And now the computer? You're going to be wasting WAY more money than if you just took it to a mechanic. Please start with a detailed explanation of the symptoms and anything that was tested, and the results.
