You could have a faulty factory ignition switch, or a faulty neutral start switch, or a misadusted shift linkage that makes the neutral start switch not operate properly. Try putting the van in neutral and using the stock ignition switch to start the engine.

Welcome to the site. I looked through all my books back to 88. I believe that the 88 360 was a carb motor too. So. Your 87 might be different, but 88 shows a relay in the starter circuit. Also test procedures for solenoid and relay test.
All the conditions Reed described apply. A 1987 Bvan factory service manual would be infinitely helpful in diagnosis.
All diagnosis assumes sufficient battery voltage, adequate ground. All connections should be checked as well. Basics...
Good Troubleshooting you two! | | | Re: 1987 B350 starting issues | Joined: Jan 2018 Posts: 5 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Jan 2018 Posts: 5 | Yes.. Tried that.
