While driving down the road my van just stalled out it started right back up. Two days later it did it again, but this time it would not start again. I thought it was a fuel filter so I changed it it and it did not help, that is when I checked for spark and there was none. I put new cap and rotor new wires new plugs to see if that helps, it did not help at all. I was then advised that it was probably the module on the distributor. So I went and bought one put it on no help. I have tested the coil fit tested out alright. Still no spark. So I went out and bought a code reader to see it find the problem. The code reader said that all systems have no codes other than that all clear. I do not know what else to do I need help. Any ideas thoughts or possibilities would be appreciated.
And now the fuel pump in the gas tank is making funny noises there is three quarters of a tank of gas, but it sounds like fuel pump is sucking in air. Is there anyway these two things can be connected or is it just coincidence?

A code reader will not work on your car as it is OBD. Check pick up coil in distributor it should have 400-1000 ohms, if not in that range get another. There are two different ignition systems on here and I think you have dura spark. So check what I have said and the fusible links in picture.
