Apply power to the dark green and white wire while relay in place-did the fuel pump come on? If so test the dark green and white wire for an open circuit back to the computer fuel pump relay control

Fuel pump does come on when the activation lead (Grn w/Wht tracer) is jumped.

New development. I do not know what happened or what had changed, but for now, the fuel pump relay IS activating properly when the key goes on. It has done this at time during this process, but seems to be fine for now. However, injector are not activating properly.

There have been a couple more incidents when the van will start briefly, then the injectors cease to let the fuel flow. Hence she stalls soon after. Honestly, its like a circuit breaker pops, then comes back on after a while. Yet, the only CB in for the accessory load, (Power windows, locks etc) as far as my understanding.

Hi guys, Just back into town from an extended funeral trip for a family member. Just now getting back to the old van. Regarding the resistence across the injectors, they read: 1.6 for the drivers side and 1.3 for the passenger side injectors.

Both injectors open when voltage is applied. Is there a fuel pressure sensor on this vehicle?

FYI: The fuel pump relay "appears" to be operating correctly at this time.

Many thanks,

Chris

I guess I'm completely at a loss then and will have to take her in. I simply cannot find what would cause the van to run absolutely normal and not start the next day. Of all the things we have gone through in this forum, there have been no solutions. Obviously, there's something missing.

You guys have been great and I have learned a lot.

Many thanks!

I hope you are still on this site. Did you ever get this resolved? I am having the SAME EXACT problems you were and same symptoms. I wish I could PM you, but I just set up account today and need 10 posts before I'm allowed to PM. Anyways, please let me in on the secret if you figured it out. Thanks.

Check for a burnt fusible link. See picture. Should have battery voltage on both sides. Assuming battery is in good shape and been load tested as well as clean terminal ends.
