Stumped trying to get my van going.

1997 dodge 5.2 318 b2500 van

Current Condition:
i have a no start
Engine will crank
i have spark
OBD wont connect
check engine light will not come on.

Work complete:
new fuel pump
crank sensor
ecm
checked ASD/ Fuel Flow relays
Checked related fuses
checked all connectors
evap purge valve
new Variable speed sensor.

notes:
Two weeks ago was driving, stopped at store came back out no start
At that point the obd code was for evap solenoid Code P0443.
I checked evap canister hoses and replaced evap canister purge valve.
(Prior to the no start i had been hearing loud ticking/clicking under hood when driving.)

i was then towed to my house
(It was possible for a short time to hit tank with rubber mallet to engage the pump to start the vehicle.)
it finally left me stranded again.

towed again.

i installed new fuel pump, still no start.

(Prior to the fuel pump procedure and connector check the check engine light was functioning properly.)

Today i replaced ECM, the check engine light came back on. turned the engine over, no start no check engine light

Any help figuring out would be greatly appreciated.
im stumped .

Does the CEL come on when you first turn the key on? If not, check the fuse for the ECM. If you have a spare, just replace it.

 

No CEL when u turn key.
fuse under hood #17/18 good
fuse in glove box #19 good

 

Hhhhmmm.... That's odd.

Moving this to the Ram Van section for ya. Hopefully folks there will have more insight.

 

thanks heyyou .
much appreciated

Have you tried seeing if it will start using starting fluid? Doing so could confirm or eliminate a fuel delivery issue.

 

howdy alloro,
no start with fluid.

 

Time for a compression test.

 

Does this model have a distributor? Cam sensor?

 

Yep, has both. Cam sensor is in the distributor.
