Default Dodge 1500 Ram Van 2001

I think I have an electrical issue. My van won't start. I accessed the engine compartment and sprayed starter fluid into the carb. Still won't start. I think I may have an electrical problem with electronic ignition or some other brain box on the van. does any one have any Ideas about what may be causing this problem? How do I check to find out?

Welcome to DF
I would start by scanning for any active or stored codes. You may have a open wire for ASD circuit. But thats just a guess. I will move your post to the Ram Van section.

Connect a voltmeter across the 2 wires going to the ignition coil and turn the key on. What do you get for a voltage reading? Preferable do this twice, once with the wires still connected to the coil and once without. Also, make sure you go across the actual 2 wires, do not go from one to ground.
