Your van died on the highway. You changed the fuel pump. What told you the pump was bad? Can you hear the pump turn on? Getting fuel up front?

Your van won't start. I'll assume it cranks just fine but just won't start. Are you getting spark at the plugs?

You checked and changed relays and sensors. Which relays did you change and which sensors did you check and how?

You stated "Misfired". What code are you seeing?

If you're not getting spark I would suspect either plug wires, plugs, ignition coil or the PCM. If you're not getting spark or fuel I would suspect the ASD circuit and specifically the lack of a cam or crank sensor signal.
