You need to check the electronic engine control system for fault codes and do the appropriate diagnostics for the codes received, learn how to do that here. You may also have mechanical engine problems like a camshaft timing Bel that has failed, see if the cams turn with the engine crankshaft pulley. If the cam belt has failed you have big problems because this is an interference engine and the engine valves will be bent, that means the engine heads must at very least come off for repair. At that point it is better to junk the car.

2002 dodge grand caravan won't start

Hello, Just by my experience with my 91 dodge grand caravan, I would start checking 3 things. First, did you replace spark plug wires to the correct location(Plugs 1, 3 and 5 on the back, Plugs 2, 4 and 6 on the front,That's all starting from the Passenger's side.) 2nd, do your dash lights and electronics turn on when it turns over? If not, try jumping it and 3rd if engine finally runs after that and then shuts off, then your alternator will be next to check however if engine dosen't start running from trying to jump it then the problem is more than likely your alternator. Though make sure you have plugged in all plugins that you might of unplugged like the one that plugs into your DIS coil pack and all vacuum hoses are connecting. Hope this helps and good luck!

Vehicle won't start, what could it be?

Well you need to check and see if you have spark or fuel try taking one of the plugs out see if its wet and smells like gas or not if it does your getting fuel hook the plug wire up and ground the plug to the head and have someone turn the engine over be careful do not touch the plug or wire while trying this and look for a spark then check fuel pressure if you dont have a fuel pressure gauge you can probably rent one from your local auto parts store and the test port will look like a valve stem on your tire

1997 mazda 626 won't start.

Are the plugs wet with fuel?
Check for spark. No spark? it may be the ignition module.

Plugs dry and spark present? No fuel?Spray a little starting fluid and see if it will run on that.
Then check pump fuses and for fuel pump noise.
