Hi, if an engine cranks but refuses to start, it lacks ignition, fuel or compression. When the engine cranks normally but won't start, you need to check ignition, fuel and compression. Ignition is easy enough to check with a spark tester or by positioning a plug wire near a good ground. No spark? The most likely causes would be a failed ignition module, distributor pickup or crankshaft position (CKP) sensor.

My 2000 dodge grand caravan won't fire. Do I have a fuel pump reset, and where

There is no fuel reset button. If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure, Also, check fuel injector pulse. Are there any applicable trouble codes?

My 2000 Dodge Caravan won't start

Are you saying the engine will not crank, or crank but will not start ?
None of the engine sensors come into play until after the engine is cranking.
Cranking problems can include the neutral safety switch and other factors with the crank circuit back to the key switch.

Dodge Grand Caravan won't start. Replaced ignition and starter tested fine but when I turn key and nothing happens

Check the neutral safety switch on the transmission. It should have three wires on the connector (if I remember correctly). There should be power on the Brown with yellow wire with the key in the crank position. If there is ground that wire and see if the van starts. If it does replace the switch. If it does not check the starter relay. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

2000 dodge grand caravan 3.8L. the a/c stopped cooling, the next day the serpentine belt broke so I replaced it. It wouldn't start so I had alternator tested, it was bad, replaced it, still...

sounds to me like a siezed up ac unit.. it would not spin while all other pulleys spin... thus causing the broken belt.. hope that helps you
