You have flattened the battery ,now charge the battery for 24 hrs then it will crank ,if it still doesnt start then check the fuel pressure 55lbs on the common fuel rail their is a tyre valve ,connect a pressure gauge to this valve and see what you read

SOURCE: 1990 dodge caravan starts then dies after 30 seconds.

cycle key, on,off,on,off,on & leave it on (not start) & count flashes from check engine light to see if getting any trouble codes. example: 2 flashes, pause, 2 more, is code 22. 3 flashes,pause & 3 more, is code 33, etc.. let us know what you get, if any. P.S. Code 55 - 5 flashes,pause 5 more, is end of message.

check for spark if there is spark present the it could be the map sensor.
if you don't have spark then the crank sensor in side the distributor is bad

It might be your fuel filter. Also, Dodge and Chrysler is bad for fuel pump failures. A clogged fuel filter can cause this. Also, you might not be getting enough fuel pressure. There should be a test port on the van, where you can test the gas pressure. You also have a fuel pump relay or switch. This could be bad as well. Hope this helps you.

My 98 dodge caravan has a loss of power and dies when stopping

Filter is mounted directly above the pump module on top of the fuel tank. You may have to drop it down a little bit to change it. Also check the fuel pressure with a good gauge while it's running poorly and see if it's out of spec.

Cavalier dies

you need to find the fuel pressure release around the fuel rail press the little tab when the car dies. If there is no fuel coming out from that point, your fuel pump is going.
