The title pretty much says it. I had the van running after sitting for a few months needing a starter. After replacing the starter she fired up without much trouble. I let it idle for about 15 minutes,went in the house, came back out 10 minutes later and it had stalled and wouldn't restart. I had no spark so I replaced the ignition coil and plugs, pulled the distibutor cap and wiped it out but all looked fine, still no spark. Also checked for fuel and no fuel either, tank has plenty of gas. I replaced the fuel relay and checked all the fuses in the fuse box, but nothing wrong there. Fuel pump was replaced last year also. I checked the codes by jumping a wire from the a and b terminal slots under the dash no error codes were found. I am hoping that having both problems occur at the same time will point me to an easy answer but I haven't found it yet. HELP!

It's most likely a pick-up coil or ignition module. Take the ignition module out of the distributor and take it to Advance or Auto-Zone. They will test it for free. If it tests bad (make sure they run the test a few times to get the module warm), obviously replace it. If it tests good, take an ohm meter across the two wires coming from the pick-up coil in the distributor (should be a green and either white or yellow wire). It should read between 500 and 1500 ohms.
