My 96 Caravan 3.3L just died and won't re-start. No spark. I don't have a scan tool at the moment. It has been giving P30? "Random cylinder mis-fire" codes for the past couple months and had a slight miss on cold hard accelerations at times. Ideas? Crank sensor? Cam sensor? Most likely cause? Thank you!

1996 Caravan No Start - No Spark. FOUND IT. One of the switching grounds from the PCM the coil pack was shorted to ground in the PCM and grounding the entire coil pack. New PCM cured the problem, also replaced the coil pack to be safe since there was a burn mark on the pack that was being shorted by the PCM. Hope the info helps someone out there.

Did you get a new PCM from the dealer or a used one from the junkyard? Did you have to get the PCM "programed" or was it "plug & play"?
