Unhappy 93 Transsport 3.1L -Won't Start

93 Transsport 3.1L Motor. Ignition in on position lights all gauges. Starter recently replaced. Turn ignition on - no response. No clicking, nothing. Battery is strong (tested) - when last used, began to start - then quit and would not restart. Check engine light is on - thoughts? Thanks.

Do you have power on the purple wire at the starter when you try to crank it?

Have you tried starting it in neutral?

Good Morning All - Tks for the quick responses.
Others may also have this problem - this is what it turns out to be for me: "Neutral Safety Switch" - just like it sounds - this "cut out" will keep the van from starting if the van "thinks" it's not in Park and such. Replacement here runs about 193.00. (Rawr) but less than a car payment.
Thanks again everyone - :-)
