figuring out the problem.

since i now have two 3.0 vans one that runs and one that doesn't that the chilton book says has the same ignition system im thinking of replacing one part at a time on the broken van with parts from the running van temperarily to see what part is bad.im assuming only one part is bad enough to cause the problem.someone want to suggest what the bad part is?

May want to give better details on the problem so that people can provide help.

basically, if a vehicle isn’t starting, I’d start with the battery.

Is the fuel pump running? Refer to page 5-17 of your Chilton's Manual.
