With the key off do you have headlights? If not, it's going to be a dead battery. Try jumping the van and letting it run to charge up the battery. Then drive it to a local Autozone they will be able to check the battery and alternator for free. Now if you jump it and it doesn't stay running it most likely going to be the alternator. If you can't get it started while jumping then it could be a many number of things but let's start with the battery and alternator.

My '93 Olds silhouette minivan won't start. Acts like it wants to but doesn't. I've replaced the battery, crankshaft sensor, cleaned all the cables and connectors to battery and starter. What do I d 1 Answer

It had sort of a rough idle but ran great. It just wouldn't start one day when my wife went to the doctor. She drove it there but all of a sudden wouldn't start when she was leaving.
