On the way to the store, van went into limp mode. Drove home slowly, parked in the driveway and shut down the engine. Came back out to straighten out my sloppy parking and van would not start. Checked all fluids. Have replaced fuel pump, battery, spark plugs, cables, distributor, rotor, crankshaft sensor, and my friend's computer does not show any error codes.

What should I do now? Thanks

With engine cranking, visually check for spark at the plugs. Pull a plug-wire, use a known good spark plug or tester in the boot, ground metal part of plug/tester to metal part engine, cranking, watch for a spark. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Let us know the fuel pressure spec.

If no spark at plugs, check primary voltage at coil and injectors, dark green wire with orange tracer. Test with engine cranking.
