Default 2000 Durango Won't start

I was on the way home when my 2000 Durango with the 4.7 died. It would not start back up. I have spark. I did the thing were you how the trip reset and a turned key to run for 5 seconds, got chec in odometer then 920 921 999. Then I tried to start again and got no bus on odometer. Can anyone tell me what the codes mean and is this a sign of the pcm being bad.
Thanks,
Jeep

Does the Darango tries to turnover upon restarting?

It does turn over but won't start. After a little more playing with it, we think it may be the fuel pump. There is now no pressure on the fuel rail. I had some at first but not now.
Thanks

Ok! To check ya fuel pressure do this: 1st Check ya fuel pump fuse
2nd Depressurize the system- Remove fuel pump fuse and start the car (that part already occured)
3rd Install back the fuse then turn the key to the ON position and listen to/for a humming sound. if not its ya pump


Good luck

the early 4.7l durango's had a bad habit of the crank sensor shouting to ground (internally) taking the bus out
Crank, No start + Died while driving + NO BUS on the odometer = Bad crank sensor most of the time
That's my SWAG
