Re: Grand Caravan won't start sometimes

If when you check for fuel and spark and both are missing, this indicates the autoshutdown relay has been denergized and most likely because a cam or crank sensor signal is missing.
These are your symptoms. Check the B+ terminal on the coil - when you turn the ignition to the on position, you should get voltage here momentarily (like 1 second). When you start cranking you should get constant voltage here. If it passes the first test described, but fails the second, you can be pretty darn sure the automatic shutdown relay is activating due to lack of input from either the crank or cam position sensors.
