MY 2004 Savana just turned over one morning without starting. Checked all fuses and relays. Did not check fuel pressure at the TB since the van has
130k and I did not want to have a fuel pump failure when on the road. So guessing the fuel pump was the problem source I purchased a unit from Rock Auto. There is some complication to getting the right pump depending on the type of left or right hand doors your van has - referring to the door behing the driver side or passenger door. I purchased a Spectrum unit assembled and tested in Quebec with component parts from China for about 230.
Dropping the tank was not a good option for me as it was half full and cumbersome. The local dealer said the fuel pump was about a 1/3 back from the front of the tank. So I looked for wires/lines about this distance back and found an electrical wire on top of the outboard part of tank. This was my first position reference. Next, I measured the center of the tank a a logical pump position and transferred this measurement to the floor of the truck. This of course after removing conversion van seat mount and a careful carpet cut. I cut the floor with a Harbor Freight steel cutting tool and pried the steel ribbed floor left and right. I had to cut another section rearward to get a clear hole for the pump to come out. It did not matter how many holes I cut because I'd tack weld the opening after pump change. The pump connections were all different but I figured out how each came apart without forcing anything. Tack weld held floor together just fine. Engine started at first key turn.
