dead 92 Caravan

[redhatva]

Placed my vehicle in park after driving for 5 minutes... As I placed vehicle in park it stalled out... Tried to restart the vehicle and the engine sounds okay but sounds like not getting spark.
The oil light has been flickering for some time - but pretty much ignored it.
Did the spark plug test - i.e. hold near metal and try to create spark - but no spark.
Checked input voltage on ignition coil and no voltage there. The battery is registering 12 volts..
What else to check??
Ignition fuses?? If so where are they??
Possibility of oil pressure cut off??
Any ideas?? SHouldn't I be able to test for input voltage on ignition coil?
** Follow-Up ** Measured the primary and secondary resistance on the coil per Haynes manual -- actually my meter wouldn't go low enough to measure the primary... Looked okay on the secondary... BUT after reconnecting my battery and running computer code via 3x key in ignition trick I got what appeared to be 1-2-5-5 or maybe that 12 55 - from what I see on the web.. Any ideas?? Thanks

you have no real codes, 12 means that the body has been disconnected within the last 50 start-up cycles and 55 is the "END OF CODE" message. When you turn the key on, do you hear your fuel pump come on as well? The reason why I ask is that your ASD (Automatic ShutDown) relay could have tripped and caused the problem your having.

My father-in-law was listening for it while I would turn the ignition and he didn't hear any noise.. And funny enough he thought that the vehicle was not get spark or fuel.... So the ASD exists on the 92 Caravan 2.5L.... I'll have to check the book for it.

I just pulled all the relays from the driver-side wall of the van.. Couldn't figure out how to release the relay from the housing. Or really even which one it is - the Haynes manual and a print-out from online both show a different number of relays on the side-wall.. I checked for continuity though and I think I have it....
Do you know how to bypass or short it - I want to know how to test it without buying a new one.. Dodge wants $45 and a week to get me a new ASD relay..

i'm having the exact same problem, did you ever get it fixed? we tried changing the sensors on top of the control module, coil distributer..still no luck...if you could help me out...

Funny enough it was something as simple as a timing belt.. I went to all the work of replacing relays - diagnosing electrical components.. Gave up and found it was a broken timing belt... So make sure you check the obvious first..
