My van used to start right up, every time all the time. Now, it takes several tries before it fires up. Then, when I do get it going, it randomly shuts off while I'm driving!!! I eventually bought all these new parts one at a time in 2 days: battery, coil, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor and pickup plate and it STILL shuts off while driving and makes a wierd sound by the dist cap after I shut if off. I'm at wits end here and money, what else could it possibly be??

Did you check fuel pump pressure?
