Van sat for two years. I put a battery in it started right up and ran for 10 mins. I shut it off. Tried start'en it again, it would'nt start.

Getting no fuel. Replaced the fuel pump, Started it up again ran fine. Turned it off. Tried starten it again, same problem wouldn't start.

I can spray starter fuel into the air way and it will start and run, till I stop spraying.

Can you tell me my problem.

Now that we have the info...look at #17!

You need to check your VECI label under the hood, you still have 2 choices! 1 is a 3.0 4v the other 3.0 2v
It should be on the label...The other is #22
This model requires the use of a syncronizer to install it, I will email the instructions...

Well if it sat for 2 years and still has that gas in it the tank should be drained and cleaned and the fuel system cleaned, also a new fuel filter should help, do you hear the pump turning on when the key is turned?
