      It could be the starter relay going bad. I believe the relay for this van is under the dash.

        Most probably your electric fuel pump catching up.If it clicks for a couple of minutes & then stops I would say that's what it is.

          If it's actually not starting and it clicks when you turn the key, that means the battery is dead.

            No because the van does start and it does run.
