    I am also having that problem. I am also having many more. My transmission is going bad almost to the point that I can no longer drive it and I have this weird problem with my gauges that sometimes when I start my van none of my gauges work. I have never had so many problems with a vehicle before. I just don't know what could possibly be wrong with it that it has so many problems!!

No spark indicates either a coil,distributor,or crank position sensor problem.

96 Jeep Grand Cherokee won't start
Possibly loss of compression inside your engine. Which is caused by hole in your engine, cracked block... a lot of things.
Stick your finger in one of the spark plug holes. Spark plug out. While someone is cranking the vehicle, if pressure pushes your finger back then your good on compression. If nothing. Then you need to find where your losing compression.

90 model Plymouth grand Voyager cranks no fire replaced coil and SBEC
Check for sparks. If no sparks, test crankshaft sensor. If sparks good, check fuel pressure at injector rail. Not sure which engine you have...tbi versus mfi.

Why won't 96 grand am start ate being wrecked?
You will have to determine if the vehicle has spark as well as fuel pressure. Pull a plug wire off and ground it over the engine. Crank the engine and it should spark. If spark is ok, you will most likely have a fuel supply issue. You will need to hook a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail test port to determine if pressure is available. If no pressure suspect a fuel pump or power/ground supply issue to it

Wont start. drove the caravan to the store then home and it hasnt started since
It could be just about anything was it driven normal before it died or was it acting up . make sure that the gas is actually getting to the engine if it is i would maybe change the spark plugs. then the computer again . but may start to get costly by guessing you may want to bring it in for test..

I have a 1998 jeep grand cherokee with a 4.0 engine. As I was driving, the engine died. I have replaced the spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, crank sensor, cam sensor and coil. It will turn over, but...
You really should be using a good manual as a guide fro testing. For wiring diagrams chiltons is better than haynes. Have you checked power flow through the ASD relay??

A few weeks ago my 97 Jeep started dying on me. It usually started right up. I replaced the ignition coil, the crank sensor and also the PCM. I am out of ideas. Now it won't start at all.
need to find whats missing, a engine has to have 3 things to run: spark, fuel, and compression. Find the missing item and you'll find the cure.

95 grand prix died at a stop sign. It is trying to turn over but will not start. The gas tank is full. May be fuel pump?
see if you have spark at plug from plug wire.
these gm cars have a problem with the ignition module under the distributor cap and rotor button.
when they fail, car dies suddenly and will not restart.fairly easy to replace and not to expensive.

96 dodge grand caravan was running fine then died. turns over .
Have you pulled a plug wire and checked for spark? Do you know for sure that your fuel injectors are firing? You can get gas all the way up to the fuel rail and nothing coming from the injectors. If there is no power getting to the injectors (check them for pulses while turning the engine over) The camshaft sensor will be the problem. They are known for just dying out. If this doesn't help, I'll still be here for you. Best wishes to ya.
