1997 Dodge Caravan 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

i have a 97 dodge caravan 3.3 I have fuel pressure, cranks over swapped relays around new cam and crank sensor, new pcm, new coil pac, the van will sometimes spark once then only crank at the same time the injectors get one pulse then only cranks, I have also checked for a shorted injector and didnt find anything wrong, ignition switch works properly, not sure where else to go.

Hello, are there any codes? Anything electrical, you need to check the wiring circuits first, before you replace. If the cam and crank sensor are not in sync, it could cause problems. If the computer doesn't see the proper cam and crank signal, it won't energize the asd relay.

Are there any codes? Does the scanner have a sync pid, if it does, it may show whether or not they are in sync. If they are out of sync, could be something wrong with the flex-plate or cam timing.
