1994 Dodge Caravan. Engine won't start. Any ideas?

Question

I was driving home and the engine just died. It didn't seize or make any funny noises before it died. I have replaced the coil and the SBEC, and it still won't work. I have also checked the fuel filter, and that is not the problem either. It isn't the battery either. I have no idea what to try next. Any suggestions would be amazing. Thanks.

I am getting fuel and electrical current to the engine.

Answer 1

try to spary just a small ((amount ))of starting fluid in the air breather while someone try to start it to see if it will start if it did check fuel pump
pull plug wire insert screwdriver head and lay it near metal surface on motor see if you got spark when you turn it over if not try coil,cap rotor, let me know what you find goodluck

Answer 2

Engine problems that happen suddenly like that are usually either fuel or ignition related. The car isn't getting fuel, or the ignition system isn't igniting it. You need a mechanic to diagnose it, but possible culprits are the coil, distributor or a broken timing chain/belt. You could also explore fuel related issues..but that's less likely since it stopped suddenly. Is there fuel moving through the filter? Maybe you have a broken fuel line

Answer 3

You need to diagnose the problem

1. Check to be sure you are getting spark, or at least electrical current running through the wires. (You can check this easily with a simple timing light you can rent for free from a place like Autozone). If you aren't getting spark, you should check to see if the rotor under the distributor cap is rotating. If not you've got a broken timing belt. If it is moving then igniter module may have died.

2. Check to be sure you are getting fuel. If not, fuel pump, no signal to injectors are all possible causes.

Fuel pump.Pull fuel line off,run to a gas can,turn on key.See if you get pressure
