Check the blled off pipes between the injectors, they start to leak and then when the van is left for a while the fuel drains out of the fuel lines. Had it a couple times on my van.
Brickwerks sell new blled off pipe if you need some

a worn injection pump also can drop the fuel prime
often missing pre-glow (blown fuse) can cause hard ort no start
