Charlie. You have replaced the ECM on your van?.
Kedwin,, Your problem is, the computer on that 3.3 L.
Need to be programed with the VIN nember of your car.
The Antitheft System will disable the injectors due a incorrect VIN, Bucause the body computer is not recieve the correct pasword between 5 seconds after start up.
YOU have 2 options. 1 get a ALOHA Smith. some of they have the computer required to program ECMs.

The other option is: Get a new ECM from the dealer, They will program if ask for that.

NOTE:::::: Other way is . Put the body control module with the computer from the same car.

OK... I hope this work for yours.
If NOT letme know I can look for more information.
Thank you.

I take it the light stays on? You might want to check your air filter, might be stuffed. You can reset the Check engine light by disconnecting the battery while the ignition is in the 'on' position, either negative or positive( I generally go with the positive, feel better about it for some reason) leave disconnected for about a minute, during this time I turn the ignition to 'off'. Reconnect the battery, if the light comes back on, you might want to get it scanned with an OBD and see what error codes it gives you, could be an O2 sensor or anything.

I had an intermittent starting problem and then a no start situation in a 1991 with the same engine. Changed the pickup inside the distributor. Less than $30.00.

If the engine was ran that much after overheating, you probably warped the head.

The crank sensor may also have been damaged by heat and need to be replaced. Check the spark plugs as well for cracked insulators or worn (read melted) tips.
