Yesterday I attempted to go to the store. Van started right up. Traveled about 200 yards and it just died. Everything works: lights, radio, windows. It cranks (very strong) but doesn't turn over. Thought it was gas so I put some in but still nothing. Fuel pump is brand new. Battery about 1 year. I'm at a total loss. Any advise would be helpful. Not very mechanically inclined either but will do my best to follow your advice.
Thank you...

try resetting security system first if no manual look online which i think on yours is to lock driver's door then unlock if it starts then it may run but will need to be scanned for codes to see if something wrong with system. also check your asd relay under hood.
