My car is not starting and there is no spark or crank. I had the battery changed out, fuel pump, coils changed, and new gaskets put on the van still nothing. What could be the reason it's not starting?

So, is the engine craning over and not starting or the engine is not cranking over? Please check out this guide and get back to me:

We should run the codes to see what comes up, but I have seen the crankshaft angle sensor go out which will not produce a trouble code.

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/checking-a-service-engine-soon-or-check-engine-light-on-or-flashing

Here is the location of the crankshaft angle sensor so you can check the electrical connections and replace the sensor. Also, I noticed this engine has a timing belt, can you crank the engine over and see if it sounds different to you, you can upload a short video of the engine cranking over I can tell for sure if the belt is okay or not. If the belt goes out it can take out the sensor wires. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Thanks for the video, I heard the fireworks going off, happy new year! The engine sounds good so mechanically you don't have a problem there. Can we check for spark here is a video to help you.
