Not sure why my van won't start. It turns over but won't start.
What is your question?
We have changed the plugs, wires were good. Changed the cam sensor, checked the crank sensor it worked fine. When it stalled my daughter was stopped at a light and when she pushed the gas it went to the floor and didn't move. Then couldn't restart. We are gonna check the computer tonight. Also, rented a code reader but didn't show any codes because the check engine light isn't on.

1. Check if the distributor is turning. If not, the timing belt is broken. 2. If the distributor is turning, the timing belt may have jumped.
ARE YOU SURE THE PROBLEM IS SPARK AND NOT FUEL? YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT YOU CHECKED FOR SPARK. JUST CHECKING. SINCE YOU MENTIONED CAM AND CRANK SENSOR I DON'T THINK THIS ENGINE HAS A DISTRIBUTOR OR A TIMING BELT! CHECK ASD RELAY, OPEN WIREING OR FUSE LINKS. NEED TO HAVE ANOTHER SCAN TEST WITH A BETTER SCANNER. ALSO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHOULD COME ON WHEN KEY IS ON!!! I DON'T THINK YOUR COMPUTER IS GETTING VOLTAGE AND/OR GROUND. SINCE NO REPLY FROM YOU MAY BE WATER IN GAS TANK!!!!!
Correct. It has a coil 'pack' and a timing chain. If the gas pedal stuck to the floor , you need to visually inspect the throttle linkage to make sure the cable didn't break or otherwise cause the throttle to stick open. It may be flooded. pull the plugs after inspecting throttle and replace with OEM if needed.(wild guess----about 180K on it?)..........AND on that year , some ignition system problems won't set codes , early OBDII not quite as much info as todays models.
you need three thing to run, spark,fuel and compression. which one are u missing?
