my gc isnt getting spark to the ignition coil and i have checked everything i can think of and i need some help here so i can get this van back on the road as its our only vehicle right now is there anyone that can help me out there before i rip out whats left of my hair please and thank you

 

Welcome to DF
When was the last time the van was running? And do you have a 3.3L engine or a 3.0L?

 

it was last running this past tuesday and it has the 3.0L i was taking the kids to school stopped at a stop sign and it died and wouldnt restart after that

 

i changed out the crank sensor, distributor cap and rotor already but still not getting power to the ignition coil

 

and last month it went down and i replaced the entire sending unit and the fuel filter after doing that it started right up but it only lasted maybe a month before it went down yet again this is the 4th time that it has done this to us and i would like to figure out what the issue with this van is so that i can fix it and prevent it from doing this to us anymore

 

im wondering if it could be the computer is there anyway to check this so that i know for sure without replacing it since its gonna cost me over $230 for a new one right now

 

You will need to do some testing on the circuit. Do you have a power and ground to the coil? If not. Maybe you have open fuse or ASD relay. It could be just a bad coil, but you need to test it.

 

there are 2 wires runnin to the coil from the computer and when i had the key in the on position there was no power running to the coil through those wires when we had the computer hooked up to it and checked it during cranking it said that there was no spark and no rpm reading from the computer this was what lead me to replace the crank sensor to no avail. this morning when i hooked the battery back up to the van (needed to charge it) there wasnt even so much as a click from the computer once it had power back. (normally i would hear that click after putting the battery back in) these are all things that have lead me to beleive that it is the computer mounted on the left fender wall of the engine compartment would this be correct
