Exclamation HELP! Dodge Caravan - No Spark???

I've spent 2 hours under the hood of my roomates work van...it's an early 90's Dodge Caravan 3.0 V6 and quite frankly sick of it. He need this van for work, and his '61 Galaxie full custom isn't ideal for work.

So last weekend his ol lady was going to run & get us some beer and grub when we were wrenching on his '61 Galaxie. The van was idling fine, then it just died and wouldn't start back up. He replaced the coil, cap, rotor, plug wires, fuel & air filter, and no change.

I came out this evening and checked everything, and came up with nothing.

Fuel Pump is working, pressure at the line too.
Timing belt is good and lined up according to marks.
All relays are good, as are all fuses.
All connections are good, as well as grounds.
I'm not getting any voltage TO the coil.
I've reset the computer and still nothing.

Any ideas before he pushes this thing off a cliff?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

GM used to tie their fuel pump in with the oil pressure switch. perhaps dodge has the electrical for teh coil tied in.

check the oil.

Does this car have a crankshaft position sensor? They are notorious for going bad in the v-8s
