97 E350 won't start

I lost my heater fan motor, took it out and called a J yard and waited 4 days for it to arrive. It hasn't got here yet but I need to take the van out of the garage to put the 06 150 in because of a snow storm tonight. Hooked the battery back up and all it does is spin over. Won't start or even kick. What's up????????

Has it been consistently below freezing where you are? Maybe frozen fuel lines? Many years ago I had a broken heater core in an Olds 442, fixed it over a few days when it was really cold, and the fuel lines were frozen solid. It took until the next thaw to get it going again.

If you can get some quick heat in the garage, focused under the van, it might help....but don't burn anything down.

Good luck,
George
