My 1997 cutaway van over heated won't start need advise.

Engine cranks fine no odd noises oil pressure builds while cranking as it always has. I sprayed some wd40 into intake has not fired once. I have heard it is not safe to spray either, is this true?

Does any one know of a good tech in the Norfolk or Virginia Beach, VA. area?

I just had the same problem with my 98. It overheated, I replaced the water pump and now it won't start. It started once after the overheating but before the pump replacement but now nothing. I've read a lot about the cps and think maybe that got knocked off or damaged in the process.

I just want to thank everybody for all the help.
It now runs again.

replaced crank sensor, thermostat and battery. It runs better than before it overheated
