Thanks to Eric the Car Guy and his very well done video on how to check relay’s. I did check all the relay’s individually based upon the technique Eric explained. It was fun checking them. I had after school students walking by and watching me as I hooked up all the jumper wires between my Volt Ohm Meter and a 12 volt supply. Hey mister whatcha making? I had a full time mechanic who has been retired for the past 20 years also stop by to watch my approach to a dead no start condition car. He stayed around for a long time and we talked all about cars. He learned something from me as he said it you are pretty good working with them computer built cars. Anyway, all the relay’s in the engine compartment fuse box relay center all checked out to be good. There is a few up in the under dashboard of the interior that I will need to pull and check. Never knew how to check before I would just go and buy replacements to my troubleshooting. Thank you ERIC for teaching me something we can all use in our approach to troubleshooting electrical problems with cars.

I am going to try checking all the relay’s. Check out the video on Eric the car guy for tips on how to do this. Looks doable to me so I am going to give a try. I did replace the direct ignition coil unit to no avail. Thanks for the helpful suggestions to my issue.

Thanks for the idea. I don’t have a gas or fuel pressure reader. The local parts house has a cheap one for 54.00 you pay for it then use it bring it back and get the money back. So , I might give that a try. Thanks again for the suggestion.

Update on the no start condition with the 1996 Plymouth Voyager. Went to my local wrecking yard for good source of shotgun replacement parts without wrecking my monthly budget. Purchased two relays and the direct ignition coil pack from a wreck that came in “running” same year and model. Spent $20.00 put all that on the car and still no start condition. Exactly the same. No spark is found while cranking the engine over. I used an in-line spark plug light it hooks up between the coil and the plug wire so the light will come on if a signal is produced. Got no light at all this is one of the main reason’s to get another coil pack and give that a try. But no luck. Least wise nothing has changed so no harm yet in my approach with very little money spent thus far. I am wondering about the computer and how to do checks on that. Weird not to get any trouble codes. I was needing to take the van in for a factory recall for the life clock which controls the air bag and horn relay. Might have to tow it to the dealer for that recall and pay them to diagnosis the no start condition. Maybe somebody has had this problem and could share the knowledge on to me.
