97 T&C Problems
I just purchased a 97 T&C LXi with the 3.8L engine. It was wrecked in
the front and I have already had a frame shop straighten the front end. I have reassembled most everything under the hood. I am having trouble getting the van to start. It seems I am not getting any spark. As far as I can tell everything is plugged in except the headlights, turn signals, and marker lights. I had checked and checked and I cannot find anything else unplugged. They had unplugged the fuse box, computer, and several other plugs. All I have bolted back in their correct position. I have also checked all the fuses under the hood. The airbags did not deploy in the crash. THE van started before I took it into the frame shop. Engine was pushed back a few inches. I installed new motor mounts and a new serpentine belt. Another problem that I have had since I purchased the van is the key will not turn all the way back and release. it will go to the start position and back one click to the run position and thats it. Any ideas on these problems will be greatly appreciated. |

The accident was someone struck the front of the van from left to
right. the impact was to the front bumper. The impact was not straight on. The airbags are good. Also the van started when we first picked it up. It will not start since I brought it home from the body shop. The body shop had unplugged the computer, ecu, and fuse box. I have plugged everything back in and now the engine turns over but I have no spark.

In case anyone is following this message I have solved the problem.
It seems someone at the body shop stole the ASD Relay from the fuse box under the hood. Had to get a new one from the dealer. Started right up.
