won't start, gives no diagnostic codes,

Asked by Kara Nov 11, 2020 at 03:18 AM about the 2000 Chevrolet Venture Extended

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Really need van to run pls help! I've replaced so
many parts & been struggling with this van for 2
yrs
now. It turns over but won't start. We replaced the
ICM twice bc we thought the 1st one might have
been faulty, replaced a fuel injector, spark plugs &
wires, crankshaft position sensor, maf sensor &
battery. It still won't start. The security light goes
off when you turn key over. We had 2 different
diagnostics machines on it & it gives no codes for
what could be wrong so I'm desperately ready to
be done with this already. I'm running out of $ &
now have no vehicle bc my other one blew up. It's
getting fuel but checked ICM & it's getting power
but not producing spark. I'm assuming it may be
the ICM but is there any possible way that
computer could be the issue or be causing the ICM
to go bad bc I can't believe that we have 2 faulty
parts & just causes me to feel like something may
be messing them up possibly that needs checked
or fixed b4 I buy a new ICM. I just can't afford to
keep buying them just for something else to mess
em up right after putting em in. I'm exhausted &
not
sure what to do.

Hate to say this, but if in the beginning you would have taken it to a reputable mechanic the problem would have been solved for less money. I know, not much help...

Y'all are just some smart a***jerks that don't know what your talking bout. This van has run perfect for the entire time my grandparents have had it & thanks but I don't need your dumb answers bc we figured it out on our own.
