I drive my van everyday for work and it has been very reliable. The other day I tried to start it but no luck. At first I thought fuel pump because it would turn over but just wouldnt crank. The fuel pump seems to be working i.E. It makes the fuel pump noise when you turn on the key. I checked the fuel pressure and its right at 60 psi. Is there anything electrical that would prevent it from starting or mabye the injectors? Any help would be much appreciated.

Check the inside of the distributor cap, they get full of moisture and cause a cross fire, see if its green inside or wet, if it is replace the cap and rotor. Start with that first.

Thanks Brian. I checked the distributer cap and shure enough it was pretty darn corroded. I replaced the cap and button and she fired right up. I was prepared to spend some serious cash to fix whatever was wrong because I just simply need my van to run but I got out of this for $45. I hope others read this post because I saw others with the same symptoms and mabye they can save some money by doing this themselves or at least not get taken advantage of at a shop. This site is awesome. Thanks again Brian.
