Hello, i have a 1995 plymouth voyager...3.0 ... 6cyl minivan. all of the sudden, it stopped running. It started, then faded off... i assumed it wasn't getting gas. I listened for the electric fuel pump to kick in, but it's not. I checked the fuses and i even checked the trouble codes off of the computer...but none came up. I then removed the fuel tank to check if the fuel pump is getting voltage... i found none. What could it be?! I just replaced my distributor cap and rotor because i heard a noise and saw a spark comming from it (small crack inside of cap). Could that have caused a short somewhere? The distributor is right next to the fuel injectors (multiport). Please help! I also found a fuse that says "auto shutoff". Could this have kicked in? I'm confused :(

no power to fuel pump start with the fuel pump recieves power from the fuel pump relay for about 30 seconds at key on then shuts itself off till the computer gets a rpm signal from the crank senser then pump stays on as long as engine is turning. first to check asd relay use a test light from ground to the ignition coil or one of the injectors asit provides power to the coil, injectors and the fuel pump relay. if it tests good test the fuel pump relay for power going to the fuel pump as you check these relays turn the key on and off if they power up then shut down and do not come back on when engine is cranked try replacing the crank sensor. also as the asd, fuel pump,acclutch and starter relays are interchangeable and in the same box you can swap them around to test them if you put the fuel pump relay in place of the starter relay and the starter no longer works but the fuel pump does you have a bad relay.

If the fuel pump is not coming on, then the computer is not allowing it to come on. I had something similar happen and
it turned out to be a bad auto shutoff relay. I found it by
checking the voltage going to the relay (coil), I had voltage but it
wasn't kicking on. I put in a jumper (across the contacts) and
was able to get the car started.
The only code I had was a 'mis-fire' from the ignition.
By the way, mine was a '92 Caravan
Good luck

first a computer doesnt diagnose fuel system problems
findthe fuel pump relay drivers side fender usually the rear one out of 5 realays test for power there and jump past the relay see if the pump comes on now if no you need to recheck power ang ground at the pump with jumper installed if ok power replace the pump
if you have power at the relay and the pump works when you jump it check the timing belt
you may also have a bad body controle module it may be time to get a pro

Hey Pebbles6 I would suggest you, take your 95' Plymouth to your local chrysler dodge dealer an let them look at it, also most all program trucks, cars, and minivans have a device on the vehicle where there computers can tell whats wrong with your van, they will inform you of what the problem is. I wish you a lot of luck of getting it fixed right, I have the same problem sometimes, but I not a mechanical inclined type person I let the pros do mine or a friend, knows what there doing

If you are not getting current to the fuel pump, then you need to check the fuse and the fuel pump relay.

Could be the alternator died and drained the battery. You could need both but I would check the voltage of the battery first. if it still starts then have someone test to see if the alternator is giving the battery enough charge to keep going.
