Check all of your fuses both in the fuse box in the van and under the hood.
My '05 Ex. is in the shop right now with the same problem. They say they can't figure out what's wrong. It gives a warning bell, then I can't accellerate. I turn the key off and put it in neutral (still rolling down the road in traffic) and crank it. After it cranks, it will run fine. Beats me, but I'm just as worried. If the place where I got it can't fix it, what am I supposed to do?
I hear that the problem is the pressure to the fuel pump. Also have heard that the alternator is the problem. To be honest, I cannot figure out why mine will not start either. I have replaced the fuel filter, O2 sensors, thermostat, reset the inertia switch, and spark plugs and wires.... nothing has worked yet. I have had the same problem, 2cd Explorer. I replaced the fuel relay. No problems now
have you replaced and or tested both coils? are you getting no spark on the intake and the exaust sides?
THE netural Saftey Switch could B bad .
No you were driving and it quit.and if it cranks it is turning over. check for spark at the spark plugs and also for fuel pressure at the injector rail.
its not your ignition its your crankshaft sensor that's the same problem i had.
could be the magnetic pick-up in your distributor, I replaced mine and it solved the problem.
There are several reasons why a 1996 Achieva engine cranks but will not fire. A few of the reasons could be a bad ignition control module, ignition coil pack, or a crankshaft position sensor.
you might have blow out a head or over headed the engine
Trans problem
have the cables been checked. same happened to my 87 same problem found it was the orgnial cables needed to be replaced.
i hit he curb and put a hole in the oil pan ,i replace the oil pan now the engine cranks but doent start. what could be the problem
The problem is in spark, or fuel. Rarely the Crank angle sensor. ECU could be going bad too.
Have the ECM, alternator and any other electronic components tested. Reverse polarity can destroy solid state components instantly and you may have some serious electronic damage.
check map sensor that was the problem in my 89 2.3 ranger
My 94 Lumina APV (3.8L) would not start (when warm) - cranked but acted as if no spark or fuel. Mechanic replaced computer @ $350 (said too many error codes to diagnose problem) - did not resolve problem. Then he replaced the camshaft position sensor (CMP) @ $125 - that solved the problem. PB
You may have a fuel problem, check the fuel filter and fuel pump.
