Your actually not giving it gas,your moving the throttle
plate on a dry system & also the Throttle Position Sensor

So check the voltage on both side of the TPS Sensor

One side goes up & the other goes down

The computer has a 5 volt reference,so you will see
a little less than 5V closed & movement down to 1V
or so & the other side 1 to 5

The next thing would be to remove & clean the AIC
air idle control valve if you have on

SOURCE: 1994 plymouth voyager hood release cable broken

Get a flash light and shine it under the hood and use a screw driver to pull the latch over to one side to pop the hood open.

Sounds like you need a new fuel filter or a new fuel pump.
Replace the fuel filter first and see if that resolves the problem.
If not than it is the fuel pump.
To check to see if it is a fuel related issues you can look on the fuel rail that is on the top of the engine and connects to the injectors. There is a plastic cap on the pressure check vavle (looks like the air valve on a bicycle tire) unscrew the cap and press the valve stem inside. If gas shoots out with good pressure than it is not a fuel problem..if it trickles out...it is.
Do this after trying to start the van a few times..but without the van running..wear eye protection.

Hi LMSADA,

Contact the parts store that sold you the timing belt and they should be able to give you the timing settings on your van.

You know if you are going to keep doing major work on your van it would be worth your while to purchase a Chilton's book that is specific for your van.

SOURCE: Starts then shuts off

if you give it some gas pedal while you start it, will that help it. there is a thing call an idle control solenoid. this allow a little air in to the engine while sitting with no throttle.

When I fill my tank full, my 97 plymouth grand voyager starts up but then shuts down after a few seconds

My name is Tom and I am here to help.

There is no connection between filling the car with fas and the engine dieing. It is possible you got gas with water rust in it. NOTE: This is a lot less likely with gas having 10% ethanol.

Try and use starting fluid and let me know it this pulls the gas up.
If not try adding 4 cans of gas additive to mix the water and gas. Let me know if this works. If not, I have a couple of other ideas.

Car turns over does'nt start right away, 1994 plymouth voyager

Get those check engine light codes read. They should give a big clue that could save lots of time. Otherwise we are just sitting here guessing. The list is very long for things that can cause those symptoms.

Hard to start

Check the enginer codes by turning the key off an on 3 times in 5 seconds. The check engine light will flash. Just count them. Note a short flash is a 2 diget number. It sounds like your TPS is the prob. Frankster016
