When the anti theft system was created,the dealers forgot to tell the new car buyers about how much the fob matters to the vehicle,without it,owners are stuck,your anti theft device is activated,you need to lock and unlock your doors a couple times with the key fob,not the key,and then you need to put the key in the ignition and start it,if you dont have your key fob,call your car dealer to get a new one,they are programmed for each car only,you cannot bypass it.if you lost your fob or never had it,whatever,you need to have the exact fob that came with that car from the factory,the key and fob have a chip in them that only go to that certain car,if you do not have it,then you need to buy a new one from the dealer or ebay and then you need to contact your dealer about programming the fob to your car,you might not have to have it towed if they have the documents from the car,the only other way is to get a junk car,with the steering column,key,fob and all computer boxes and door locks and switch them,i just did that with a 98 dodge dakota,and it works.

1995 trans sport van new fuel pump, won't start

If the pump continued to run after shutting off the car you fuel pump relay was probably staying latched. I would replace the relay as well based on your info. Along with the pump the fuel filter should be replaced too and fuel pressure should be checked. Make sure your ground is good also.

how are you determing there is no voltage? does the fuse have voltage? the gray wire is the power for the fuel pump. can you by-pass the relay and still no power? have you checked for voltage at the pump with relay by- passed? I suspect the pump is bad.

My 1996 Dodge grand caravan is not starting up but will turn over. I have installed a new crankshaft sensor, new fuel pump and still nothing. Coil pack is good. No spark from harness connecting to the coil...

Hello fellow auto mechanic. Let's take one step at a time .Your engine turns over because your starter is connected directly to your battery.It's possible that the crankshaft sensor was the the problem, but NO. Also new fuel pump well maybe but not yet. There may be more to this story and as always not what you may have done but what you don't know you have done.
First when you put your key into your ignition and turn to on you should here a noise at the back of your cars fuel tank. The sound will be a whiiiirrrrr sound indicating that your fuel pump is doing it's job and pushing fuel to the engine. It will be a very significant sound and you will know it when you here it. If this doesn't happen go to your power control center under your hood on LEFT side open it and you will find a relay for your fuel pump. This is an easy check because you can pull the relay for your horn LABELED the same, and use in place of your fuel pump relay to see if you can start your car. If this doesn't do it ,one more test look at the relays and find the ASD relay this is the main shut off to your vehicle. Now if this doesn't work it is very possible that you or whoever replaced your fuel pump may have crimped some wires or even forgot to hook up the the plug to the pump. This kind of stuff happens all the time, that's why people are always asking questions.Check the simple stuff first, and I believe you will find your problem. It's probably something very simple , don't get discouraged.
One more thing , why are there so many 96 Caravan problems? Please get back to me on the above and let me know if I have helped you. Don't forget to vote and GOOD LUCK.

Gets gas gets spark but don't start. new fuel

1. does it turn over? if so, strong, or weak? 2. did you replace the fuel filter? 3. coil packs, or distributor (pack(s) can be tested) if distributed check cap and rotor, replace coil, but first check starter relay - 4. Check all ignition fuses, starter fuse - (along with relay{above}) 5. Check all connections from battery - positive, negative etc.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.

New fuelpump installed no power supply, pump relay powered, safety relay powered,no bad fuses????

if you have no fuel when the and it just wont start it may be the crank position sensor if it's the 4.0l engine the crankshaft position sensor is on the top of the transmission bell housing on the driver's side and can be accessed from underneath the vehicle and is plugged in at the back of the intake manifold

No power to fuel pump

What you need to do is drop the fuel tank and put a new fuel pump in it. I would drain the gas and put new gas in after you get the pump changed.

1995 Plymouth Acclaim Won't Start

It is most likely the fuel pump. pouring gas down the throttle body will not start it, it will just flood it. try spraying a carb cleaner in the throttle body in short 1 or 2 second bursts while some one else cranks it, it should start.
