What I have is a 97 Dodge Grand Caravan SE, FWD 3.3L. The Lower Rad Hose got too hot due to Thermostat Failure, and The Hose clamp cut right through it, Causing all water to be lost and without noticing it, it overheated, causing a blown head and lower block damage. I purchased a new Thermostat, Radiator, and a Engine from LKQ. When I started this project, I powerbraked it into the garage... Started and ran... Dropped the Cradle, Tranny, Suspension and dropped the motor. reinstalled just the same. However, Project complete, and I have no spark, As far as I am aware all grounds are correctly remounted. Any Suggestions?

Thanks in Advance.

 

did you check to see if your getting power to the ignition coil at all? its a start

 

nothing at coil. Power up to the harness where it breaks away from the injectors. but nothing past there.

 

i had this problem with my 88 dodge and i had missed bolting 1 earth wire back on so follow all the wires and make sure as you dont half feel a numpty when you find the loose wire when your mates are there helping lol

 

Spent most of yesterday doing that, will attempt that again. perhaps I missed something.

 

did you take the crank sensor out of trans when you pulled engine? if not, did you happen to bump it or damage it when putting engine and trans back together? If you got or can get someone with a scanner to check for rpm signal when cranking. I have forgotten at least once that i forgot to plug a sensor back in. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has ever done that too

 

I pulled it, and the Cam Sensor. is the spacer on the Cam Sensor important? I did not put a new one on yet as Autozone is Special Order. its been 5 days and just left there warehouse. I didn't figure the spacer would prevent fire. I can probably rent the tool from Autozone but could you tell me if that spacer would be possibly the problem? What is the tool called, do you know off hand?

 

I'm not fimiliar with the tool you are talking about for the cam sensro, and not quite sure about a spacer, But if your crank sensor is adjustable and you didnt glue a this piece of cardboard or something around 30-40 thousand thickness, that might create a problem. I dont know the exact thickness cause i usually use something the size of cardboard on back of spiral paper notebook , i'm guessing around that thickness
