Test and see if you have spark and fuel preasure, you may have bad feul pump, common problem is the fuel pump goes bad, but check before replacing.

It would be beneficial to know the year, as 2003 for instance has known issues with the wiring harness to the ABS, Cam Position Sensor and the Crankshaft Position Sensor. On my 2003 I had the same symptoms and had no spark. I replaced the Crankshaft position Sensor ($72) and connector ($28 in 2012 money) and spent 10 minutes connecting it. 90% of the time, as reported to me personally by Goodwrench, the crank or cam sensor and/or the connector is the problem.

I hav a 2004 chevy van express with random mis fire i did replace wire set , plugs , intake gasket ,fuel pump , air flow sensor , battery .

Sounds like a problem with the fuel,contamination,use Lucas fuel treatment,and two bottles of HEET,these are the best fuel cleaners,and water dryer,it will most likely fix the problem.
