Car just turned off when I turned a corner and would crank over but not start. Replaced the MAP sensor already and yes it's getting fuel.

Good afternoon,

Do you know the actual fuel pressure? That is critical. You need 48-54 pounds for the van to run.

Do you know if it has spark? If you have a tachometer on the dash, does it move up a little when you crank it?

Is the check engine light on? If it is, can you give me the codes?

Unfortunately I do not know the fuel pressure. Yes, my check engine light is on but I do not know the codes I cannot get it any where to put it on a scanner.
