    96 town and country van won't start
    Hello, I have a 96 town & country van 3.8 liter engine. I am getting gas, my spark plugs are wet. I am getting electricity. I have replaced my coil pak and my cam chaft sencer, even replaced my number 1 and 2 position spark plugs. The cables are good and everything else checks fine. I am at a loss.
    Thank you.

    1. Test all under-hood and under-dash fuses with a test light or multimeter.
    2. Check for codes.
    3. Test for spark.
    4. My bet is that you need to replace the ignition control module (igniter). This is what it looks like and costs:

    Well it all depends, have you removed any of the spark plug wires? If you have you might have them in the wrong firing order. If you have, then you need to check that. Your firing order should be 165432! If this isn't the case then I am not really sure I really would have to take a look and see.
