system is been triggered the fuel pump isn't
coming on or anything was dead like there's
nothing what do I do to fix that or bypass my anti-

You need to register your existing keys into the computer. Unless it came with keys, then just get those cut and use them. Computers do not have ALL chipped keys programmed into them. New computers need to have the chips in the keys added to them or it will not start. So yes, the anti-theft is doing it's job and keeping your van from being taken. Add those keys to your computer.
