I am having problems getting my van to start. It tries to turn over but just can quite seem to get there. We have checked the battery, starter, cylinoid and distributer. Do you have any other suggestions as to what it might be?

Hello, well if there is spark. Then you need to know what the fuel pressure is. If ok check injectors. Plugs wires billymac

Hi:
Like billymac said, either you are missing spark or fuel unless there is a timing problem. Check to see if the spark plugs are getting spark. Also, you should check for fuel pressure. The pump may have gone bad. check out this video if you need to know how to do it.

Also, many parts stores will lend or rent the gauge if you need one.

Let me know what you find.

Joe
