The TFI module fires the ignition and injector drivers in the ecm. It is the module on the side of the distributor. You should have 32 to 40psi at the fuel rail.

Check the EEC relay. It could be bad.

Not sure on a van, it's usually under the hood, and near the fuel pump relay. Sometimes there is a marked cover over them.
