He pulled out the following codes:
P1664 - FIP Malfunction
P1564 - Requesting Reduced Fuel Flow
P1631 - PCM Main relay,
I'm guessing the fuel pump is completely goosed then?

I think you're right. Having looked into the fuel pump / timing chain videos on youtube and reading the comments, it's the fusable link and yes, having looked in the manual, the relay i replaced was for the glowies. I'm impressed, this van has always started in 2-3 turns!
