Sounds like you are starved for fuel. Look for a pinched off fuel line or a plugged up fuel filter. That would be my first place to start. Possibly even a bad petcock on the tank.
First thing to do is have the computer checked for trouble codes. The blinking D4 light means overdrive is not going to function, probably because of the rough running engine.
It very well could be the fuel pump, alot of time when they are going bad they will do that. If the check engine light stays on while running that would indicate a sensor is bad or maybe just unpluged. you can have a pressure test preformed on your vans fuel system which would tell if fuel pump is bad or not.. If check engine light does not stay on, i would bet it is the fuel pump.
I have ran into this problem many times. Insert the key, and turn it to run. After 10 minutes the security lamp should go out. Turn the key off, and then back to run and let it sit another 10 minutes until the security lamp goes out again. Now repeat this one more time for another 10 minutes until the lamp goes out again. This should be a total of 30 minutes so make sure your battery is fully charged when you start the procedure. After the third time and the lamp going out you should be able to restart the vehicle.
