I have a 1990 dodge caravan, I replaced the oil pump, the oil pan gasket, and the valve cover gasket. I went to start my car, and it just cranked. I ended up replacing the fuel filter, spark plugs, coil, spark wires, Oil pressure switch and vacuum hose lines. I go to crank the engine, it seems like it almost wants to start then it seems like it fires too early or something. what could it be? I didn't touch anything to do with timing.

Do you have a 3.0L or 3.3L? and did you have the timing belt or chain off?

I think I see what Master Tech is getting at. Does it turn over a lot faster, or easier than it did before? I wonder too about the timing belt. It would be a heck of a coincidence but it happens. I don't have my manual here but does the 4 cyl have an overhead cam that you can see that the timing belt/chain is not broke? When they go out on the 3.0's, you can look into the oil fill hole and see if things are moving while cranking the engine.
