This is never a good story. Remove all the spark plugs and squirt a little oil in all the cyclindersthough the spark plug holes. come back tomorrow after it's had pleaty of time to soak in. try to turn the motor by the crank pulley with a socket and a breaker bar try to turn it in either direction, if it turns try to turn it all the way over in both directons. once turning you can try the starter ( with the plugs still out) oncwe turning over quickly put the plugs back in and start it, Look into the reason for the overheating right away and find and fix the problem. If it still doesn't turn you can try harder by removing the starter and putting a prybar on the teethe of the flywheel and pry the motor to turn ( try both ways) if it's still locked the liklyhood of having a repairable engine is low and go shopping for a replacement motor. Or a replacement vehical ( might be cheaper.)

Click on the link, the diagram is for starter motor. Will the starter motor crank the engine? If it cranks good but won't start, make sure battery has a full charge and connections all good. Have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the plugs. Spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Check fuel injector pulse. Any applicable trouble codes. Those are the basic checks, in my opinion.

I need a wiring diagram for the pcm and data link connector on a 1994 ford econoline van e-150

A little off topic but possibly worth taking a look at. I had a ford 300 6 cyl in a van , it would start, run but ran poor, sort of like it jumped time. I'll skip everything I tried to fix it.... turned out to be the shear pin in the oil pump drive/ gear shaft had begun to shear. It moved the timing just slightly. Still ran, but had poor power, ran hot, pinged...

The van stalls and dies when its hot outside.

try this it may work as i dont know your area, as im in uk but remove the air temp sensor on the filter box and see if that works, if it does it could just need replacing or you need a remap to the ecu as its reading the wrong signal. could even be a bad connection to the ecu so might just need a good clean on the ecu connector.

My 2002 chevy 1500 van , 4.3 liter v6, will not fire. ran great, no signs of trouble leding up to now. Cranks,cranks, & cranks but no sputter, fire, anything

I would check and be sure I had fire to the plugs and fuel to the throttle body. I read what you wrote about the fuel pump but then on the end of the description where you put gas in the van the pump might not be working. If so you could have a bad wire to the fuel pump or a plugged fuel filter. Once you verify those items I would pull the 02 sensor ahead of the catalytic converter in the exhaust and make sure the cat or muffler is not plugged. If they are it will put back pressure on the engine and not allow fuel into the cyl. to fire.
