Van started first try for last 6 years. Today it just cranked and cranked no start. No spark to the plugs . Pulled one plug put it back in wire held it next to the block. No spark arc. Tried to see if spark from coil worked. Yes. Didn't look very strong but did spark. What next? Is there an ignition relay? I'm hoping you will use the phone best for me 435-6491710 i'm with verison

First of all thank you so much for your donation. It sound's like you just might have a weak coil. What color was the spark you saw?Also if you could tell me what model van and what size engine you have?

It's a 195 v-6. 1997 B- 1500. Just a cargo van. Spark was maybe yellow. Not sharp white or blue

Yellow spark is weak spark I emailed you how to check for spark please follow the diagram also it tells you how to inspect your cap and rotor. When you inspect the cap make sure you only take one wire off at time as you inspect the tower's.I'm sorry I don't call anyone I keep it on the computer only.
