Sounds like the problem is no spark to plugs. check for spark to and from coils. also the wires and spark plugs. It needs spark and fuel to start. If check engine light is on, Its a possibility that its a bad cam sensor. Check above first! If light is on you can go to any auto parts store so they can read the codes, with a scanner for free. and tell you the problem area. Good-Day!

SOURCE: Engine temp. in 2003 Astro van

Typically newer vehicles run at a normal operating temperature of 195 degrees to 205 degrees. if anything it's running a cold, which would waste fuel.

SOURCE: chevy astro van turns over but wont start when

Check to see if the fuel pump is kicking in,
when you turn the key on without starting the van you should hear it kick on for about 2 seconds,

It could be...
A clogged fuel filter...
Blown fuse for the pump..or bad pump relay..
No gas
Bad fuel pump

I turn van on and go the van boggs down then the service engine light turns on and it smells like raw gas

Does it only bogg down on acceleration or all the time? If its only on acceleration you want to check for any loose vaccuum lines leading to the intake. In addition you want to check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail and make sure that the engine is getting fuel. If so check the injectors. A clogged fuel injector or one that is leaking can cause the bogging issue and the smell of raw gas.

When i turn on the van when i step on gas it boggs down and service engine light turns on and it smells like raw gas

You probably need to replace the oxygen sensor. If it is bad the computer doesn't know the correct air fuel ratio.

Probably a bad fuel pump. Known to fail from one turn of the key to the next.
