When the ignition is engaged, the car turns over but does not start. Seems to be getting plenty of juice from the battery. Fault codes are P0353, P0352 and P0351. Pointing to spark plugs, wires or ignition system or coil.
About a year ago I had the same problem. Replaced plugs, wires and coil. I think the coil was bad as putting that in fixed the problem. I believe I had the same codes too.
I cleaned the plugs and replaced the coil, but still not starting.
I bought a spark tester and 5 wires give a spark, #3 doesn't seem to spark much, if not at all. The odd thing is that when the #3 plug wire was on the tester, grounded, the van started! I removed one the other plug wires and used that for #3 and same non-spark, but it starts.
This seems remove fuel filter/pump problem.
What could it be?

It sounds like the coil pack is the problem (or coil), but make sure that plug is screwed in good for a good ground, all of them for that matter, and check/change wires, make sure you have original mopar or ac delco plugs, because anything else might be getting to hot and causing this problem every year
