Engine cranks but won't start.

What is your question?

I just bought a second-hand GMC 2003 Savana. Drove it home, ran beautifully. Was very pleased. Got in it the next day to try to go to work, engine would not start. Cranks fine, lights, radio, A/C but engine only coughs a couple of times as I let the key go. I wait an hour, turn the key, starts up fine - as if nothing was wrong an hour before. Next day, it does the same thing - won't start. Crank sensor, fuel pump?

seek to diagnose your fuel pump. check fuel pressure, check fuel injectors if has power and working normal

In the end I had to take it to GMC Goodwrench. Firstly they told me I needed a new passcode sensor (it had been changed 3 weeks before!). Anyway, they cleared the fault code, but van still wouldn't start. Then they said it needed a new distributor cap. I thought it strange that it would not fire at all, but got it home last night with new cap and this morning it started first time. We'll see how it goes.
