Answer 1I'm not familiar with a VW as new as yours, but from the starting fluid comment in your question, it sounds like there is something preventing fuel from getting to the engine. If the engine runs, or tries to run until the "shot" of starting fluid is consumed, then that suggests everything EXCEPT the fuel delivery system is functioning.

The cause could be a clogged/blocked fuel filter[s], a blocked or pinched fuel line, a non-working fuel pump, a carburetor float valve "stuck" in the closed position [highly unlikely], or a blocked fuel passage in the carburetor. There may be some other causes I've overlooked.

I suggest you check the entire fuel delivery system.

96 gmc safari van the power steering and the brakes are out this morning fluids are good and so are the belts any idea what the problem might be?

Are the brakes out or is the power brake system not working properly. I believe those vehicles have the hydro boost power brake system. If so, the power steering pump is what applies the power brakes, no vacuum is needed. If something is wrong with the power steering pump (empty, no belt, malfunctioning) it will affect the power brakes as well.
