My van quit on me when I was backing into the driveway. I checked it it had no spark coming out of the coil. I replaced the coil from a video I saw still did not start. so I went and got another coil and it still would not start. everything works on the van it just will not run.

Scan for codes first and if any show up get back to us with the code. Use a volt meter service engine light may flash as well. See pictures on how to do it. Second picture shows a code 23 what it looks like on a volt meter.
