I think the right direction will be a repair shop

Too many possibilities to guess, & we do a lot of that
as is.

Has to be diagnosed using wiring diagrams & other
reference material, you won't have access to.

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.

This is a bad PCM. Try to disconnect the security system first and if it still does not start then it is the PCM.

Personally I wouldnt bother tracing the wire as it is probably not worth your time, and just run a constant 12v from the battery to the relay on like 10ga wire. There is probably a short somewhere in the system which can be a real headache to find.

Also it may sound dumb, but check your fuses, and the fusible links under the hood. Chances are that they are all fine though, especially if you have dash lights.

Hey guys just wondering if anyone knows where the fuel pump fuse not the actual relay because my gregorys handbook sais to check the fuel pump fuse before messing round with the relay

Try google images for a pic of the fuse box. The pump will only operate in crank or when the engine fires up. You wont hear it just with the key ON. This is in an accident you don't want the pump running if the engine stalls.

My 94 Thunderbird won't start until like the 4th crank, then it runs like a champ. It acts like it isn't getting any fuel. Please help!

You may be right on your hunch.
The fuel pump gets power from the pump relay for 3 seconds when you turn the key on, then no power until the engine starts. If the fuel pressure is low it could take several trys to get the pressure up to normal and the engine start.
A mechanic would check the pump relay and the fuel pressure with a gauge before and after cranking the engine.

My car won't start I have changed the coil fuel pump fuel pump relay and the Mfi relay I now think its the crank shaft relay but I do not know help me !

Sounds like maybe the main computer is bad. When you cranked the engine there is not any indication that it is firing. If you have changed the fuel pump and coil and it still wont even fire, the computer is most likely the cause. Even if the timming was off you would still get some indication that it was trying to start although it probably would not if the timming was off, but the fact it's not even trying to fire yeah that's my take.

2007 dodge caravan engine quit at turn. Slowed down made corner and when speeding back up engine coughed and did not accelerate after that. engine eventually quit and will not fire.

hi, your decription is kinda vague, but i will attempt to give advice. I had a 2006 caravan come into my bay at the shop i work at a month ago and it was running when it came in, but after about ten minutes, it quit. It would not fire, but would crank ok. I was able to pull codes from the pcm and they were related to crankshaft position sensor intermittent malfunction. I noticed the a battery on this vehicle had a massive amount of corrosion on the cable and it was falling off into the wiring harness which contained the crankshaft sensor. Long story short... I found the wires were damaged by the corrosion, and repaired them. BUT, the van still didn't fire! In the end I replaced the crankshaft sensor and it fired and ran, the customers were very happy and they report no problems since. Now, this case i checked the ignition to see if there was spark first, then checked fuel pressure. You should always check these two things first when diagnosing a no start condition. If your caravan has no spark, look to start with a code scanner if you can get your hands on one. Always best to check what the computer diagnostics say first if you can, it diagnoses ten times faster than we do. But, if you have no fuel, likely a fuel pump or fuel pump relay will be the cause. Good luck, and if you have any other questions about what I have written, please ask, I will try to help more if I can.

1994 saturn 1.9L wont start

Try checking and making sure you are getting fuel to the fuel rail there should be a serator valve on the line on the engine. If you are not getting fuel to it make sure the fuel pump fuse and relay are in good working order. Check and see if you can hear the fuel pump running. If you are not getting fuel to the rails and can not hear the pump running the pump is possibly bad.

1992 Dodge Grand Caravan engine failure

There is not fuse for pump but a relay in the relay block. I do suggest jumping to see if pump turns on. Test voltage from ECM if needed. If voltage is to pump, then pump is shot. If not voltage, relay may be bad

94 dodge grand caravan no fuel in fuel rail

Dear Ron, you have replaced fuel pump and fuel filter. You have checked the fuel pump relay. Still no fuel in rail. Try bypassing fuel relay with jumper from batt to fuel pump. If o/k then check computer for ground to relay. This system uses a relay that is operated by the computer that supplies a ground for the relay to operate. The wire color is green,16 gage. If the ground is not available then "no fuel" Check this with a test light. Key on and crank apply test light to ground wire and other end of light to ground. You should hear relay click and get fuel. If this checks out you will need to replace computer or get creative with rewiring the relay so it works without computer input. Good luck Moe

Engine cuts out

When it quits & won't restart, If you pull air intake hose of at throttle body & spray 2 or 3 seconds of WD-40 (like quick start) inside the throttle body with plate pushed open, then try to start & if it kicks over or fires up for a second or 2 then dies, you'll know it's a fuel related problem, then you can take a good look at rest of fuel system for problems like relay or pump.
