2003 Caravan 4cyl - no start - EVAP issue?
Chasing codes can be a complete waste of time; a years worth. The timing belt was all but broken, after 108k miles. Recommended severe service interval is 120k/120mo, and this van is neither. Every tooth on the belt around the crank sprocket was shredded off. Now, I'm certain that I'm looking at a new head, but still hopeful.
Just thought I'd post a solution. Sometimes a ASD Relay circuit code can be a faulty timing belt!

Praise be to God! Other than the miss from year old fuel, it runs good. I think a little SeaFoam will help with that. Drive it to work tomorrow, get it inspected, change the oil, and fill the tank and we'll see what happens.
Now, another question: It appears that the crank/cam sync difference is +2.9 - 3.0 degrees. This doesn't seem to effect the way it runs. I did have the timing off a bit and got the P0016 code; at that point I was -14 degrees out of sync. I adjusted the time on the intake cam by 2 teeth and got to where it is now. Once I confirm that the miss if from stale fuel, can't I adjust the crank sensor a bit to get that sync difference number closer to 0?
