Update on the van. I took it to the shop to have the NSS and new gear selector cable installed. That didn't fix the no start problem but what they found is the start diode actually burned out and messed up some of the fuse box. They are going to remote mount a new diode as they said it would otherwise need a new fusebox, and possibly harness, about $1500 for parts and labor. The remote diode idea is way more budget friendly and will be underneath, so it will still look stock. At least they found the problem and hopefully the thing will actually be usable.
