On a trip stopped and van would not start. It turns over but will not start. Battery, gas, everything is good.

Does the fuel pump run for two seconds after you first turn the key to run, before you turn the key to start?
If not, check the fuel pump and ECM/PCM fuse/s and if okay and there is no security light on, try a new fuel pump relay unless of course you cannot get to a store, if so see if any other relays fit into that slot and are the same type, then if so swap one in, that is not important, like the horn relay, etc.

Also, this has a fuel pump inertia shutoff switch, so make sure it is not tripped.
