Starter was bad.Well I really haven't put much into this van,so I don't have anything to complain about.Actually I am glad it didn't happen during a winter snow storm.

Once again-thanks to all that gave advise.I really appreciate it.This site is just the best.

Good news!!!!!!!!! We love an easy fix.

I didn't see this before but when your starter goes bad you can sometimes get one last start out of it by beating the hell out of it with a Tire iron or hammer. Beat on the body of the starter and it will knock some of the dust and junk loose and the engine will start. This trick only works one time and one time only!!! I have never seen this work twice on the same car. So once you get it running leave it running untill you get it somewhere to fix it. Where ever you shut it off is where it will stay. This will also work with a bad fuel pump in a pinch just pound on the bottom of the tank with your hand. Do not hit the tank with a hammer or you will put a hole in it.
