1996 Dodge Caravan wont start

My vehicle dont have a icm or a distributer. Its all run from the ecm.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Ok, now that ive replaced the ecm, Ive got fire and she wants to start, however im not getting fuel into the intake. I had a man come over with a diagnostic machine and he said the engine is telling the ecm that its 180 degrees. My oil pressure is between 45 and 47 and I have correct timing.I noticed last night when I try to start it that the headlights try to come on. Im confused for sure now.
My van ihas been modified for a wheelchair, It also has what I thought was just a panic button, but Im guessing its an alarm system, but it has nover done more that set off a horn of some type when I hit the panic button on the key chain.
Im wondering if I got a defective ecm or if you have anymore suggestions.
God bless you for all you do

I didnt have starting fluid, but sprayed gas directly into intake, and as long as I could get gas in there it would run for a few seconds, but as soon as the gas burnt off it died again.
I guess Im gonna try the temp sensor. Ill get back to you soon.
Thanks again

P.S. Was wondering if my gas was bad, as I got real low on fuel so I put $10 in the tank, I mean almost empty, then went about 5 miles, and thats when it died.

Let me start by saying you are a god send!
I have checked the fuel pressure at the fuel rail, it reads 45-47, as far as checking it before the filter, Im lost!
I also noticed that when I try to start it without stepping on the throttle is when it tries to start, however, if I try to put any throttle to it, nothing happens.
I went to the parts house and got a bottle of "heet" to try to dry up any water if any was in there, still nothing.
Please help me, Im desperate!
Thanks a million
Marion
P.S. Is there an access panel inside of the van to get to the fuel filter, and is there more than 1 filter?

I think I remember the guys that were helping me doing the test on the injectors and the light was a pulsing blue light. I was thinking there was a 2nd filter but didnt exactly know where to look as the van was modified for a wheelchair. The floor has been dropped 10 inches all the way to the back seat to modify for the wheelchair and the gas tank is now all the way in the back of the van where the spare tire used to be.
Ill get back to you after I find the filter.
This mechanic stuff is definitely for men, being a woman, I've broke all my nails, and how do you get the funk off of your hands? Lol

Gonna double check with the guy helping me, what does it mean if the light was orange or whatever color you said?
Bty, I looked at your profile and noticed your from PA. Im originally form Bradford Pa. Been in Al for 14 years

Ok, so I tried everything you said, all checks out. I replaced the ecm again, thinking it was faulty and still the same thing.
Could it be the ignition switch or what? Im so frustrated!
What else can I do?
Pleeeeasssse help

Btw, could it be the map sensor

After weeks of research, I was wondering if you can tell me according to your expertise what the fuel pressure should be at the fuel rail.
Also, do I have an ignition control module, where it, would be and could you send me a diagram of it, and if this would cause my issues. What bout a iac? Im at my wits end!

After reading through the forum, I found a guy with a similar problem, ended up it was his map sensor. I went and disconnected mine and kinda wanted to start, but not really. I did the code search with the check engine light and didnt detect it was even unplugged, starting to think this is my problem because it says it will act like a bad fuel pump. What is your opinion and shouldnt that map being unplugged set a code?
Thanks

I went to pull a part and got a eng control module for 12 bucks.
Went home trying to figure the compatablity from 1988 to my 1989, I ran across the MAP sensor test. The author said the MAP sensor will act like a failing fuel pump. The car will try to start but will die like the fuel pump is bad. The test is simply to unplug it. The car will run ruff but not die after starting. I did this and went to pull a part and got two for 3 dollars. Problem solved. When I unplugged the dang thing I got a code 14. If I would have known the MAP sensor acts like this I could have saved a lota time. Thanks for your input anyway. John.

Ok, so here is my latest, actually got it running last night, runs beautifully! The crank sensor had to be readjusted. Fabulous, its back on the road, or so I thought.
Started it up today, had a fuel leak in the filler neck of the tank. Went to a shop and got it changed out, ran great for about 50 miles. Then it happened again, it started, but was rough, and would only go bout 5 mph, smelled real funny( like funny gas, maybe, don't really know how to explain the smell), so I waited 2 1/2 hours for a tow truck after we got if off the flat bed, it started like nothing was wrong, but it set a code 11 on the dtc. Which means no crank to the ecm. Am I missing something? Maybe something that makes it act up when hot, idk, was still wondering bout the map sensor, and if would act like that if it was the map sensor or would it throw a map code?
Please help
Thanks

Btw, I was talking to a guy at the junkyard, he said there is some sort of box under the dash, drivers side, bout 3 by 3 that the security system goes through that might be causing this issue im having. He couldn't remember the name of the part, but if you could tell me I'de try it.

Hope all is well with you, havent heard from you since my last post.
Is it possible that I got a bad crank sensor in the beginning? On these vans, do the parts actually have to be mopar, or can they be aftremarket?
