My 2001 dodge caravan will not start. My husband changed the ingnition coil, the crank sensor, checked the ada relays and the fuses and I even told him hey try just putting some gas in it we did still no start it acts like it want to but still no go, he even got some 200.00 tester at Oreilys and it said nothing was wrong, of course we got the 200 back it was just a deposite for the tool.
does any one else have a guess I am without a car and have 3 kids, sos thank you for all who have tried to help!

You need to determine what is missing. An engine must have spark, fuel and compression/timing to fire. There may be any combination of these missing.

What motor?
3.0?
3.3?
3.8?

Check fuel pressure, it must be in spec.
For a quick possible test, spray carb cleaner into the throttle body and see if it runs for a moment.

USe a spark tester to see if any spark is missing.

USe a noid light to see if the fuel injectors are firing.

Pull the plugs and evaluate them, they may just be fuel soaked and the problem may have actually been fixed, but the wet or fouled plugs may be preventing the start.
