I've tried driving for 10 to 15 minutes on Tuesday and Thurday, but van still on start on Saturdays. Bought car used and the battery was faulty and had to be replaced with new battery 2 years ago. Had no problems with it, until last 3 weeks.

    It could be something simple like a bad eec relay. Is the check engine light on with key on, if it's the ecc relay is okay. Check the fuel pump relay in the fuse relay box...that can go back...Or if you slamp your door very hard , it can trip the inertia switch which cuts off fuel to the fuel pump. It can also be the fuel pump module relay not working and ultimately the fuel pump and or wiring / ecm issues, worst case.
