Van has been running with no symptoms. Wife backed it out of the garage about 30 feet and it died. I took the air tube off and squirted gas in the throttle body and it fired up.The fuel pump comes on when the key is turned on for the required few seconds.There is a line by the M Cyl. with a schrader valve in it that shows nothing when the valve is depressed. I even added gas to the tank to be sure. There are no codes. It is a 06 3.5 with 100K Kinda stumped?????

Do a fuel pressure test and how long since you changed the fuel filter?

 

[old man]

Filter has never been changed to my knowledge(I bought it with 60 K on it) Not sure where to check press, the only valve I see does nothing when depressed.

If it's part of the fuel line you have no pressure which would account for the vehicle not starting and youre overdue for a filter change.

Couldn't get filter in my head due to how quick it quit with no prior symptoms, but in messing around it started fireing up then dying. Replaced pump and related items and as Willie sings were on the road again.
