Re: 2000 Ford windstar Not starting.. Replaced the ecm 3 times got it to start then it stopped again after 3 days.. NEED HELP!!

The van has over 100 thousands miles..
I believe the fuel pump has never been replaced.
The Engine Control Module was the one that was replaced. By Me (I have some experience working on cars but not much)
Because where i live it does not really get that cold buy for a week straight it got very cold and it started to snow so i could not drive for two days but after the two days i with outside to check on the car and to start it and it would not start all it would do crank but not turn over so first i check to see if i can hear the fuel pump and i could then i checked the ignition coil to see if i was getting spark and i was. After that i checked the fuel rail to see if i was getting fuel when i turn the key and saw that i was not getting fuel so i replaced the Engine Control Module and fuel pump relay. After i did that the van started right up with no problem and ran great for 3 days then after 3 days it did it again so i replaced the Engine Control Module again and it started up again and ran for 3 days again and now i want to know what is going on..

I checked the fuel rail again and see that there was no fuel in it after i turn the car..


Also if it is the fuel pump how come it start when i replaced the ECM thats wired..
