My 1998 Dodge conversion van stalled on me today. All the sudden no throttle. Oil, temp, belts and pressure were all fine. it will turn over but it won’t start. Could it be the fuel filter? fuel pump? something essential I’ve never heard of?

It could be the fuel pump.  
Or the crank position sensor,  
or the cam speed sensor,  
or the injector(s),  
or the igniter,  
or the spark plugs,  
or the ECU,  
or the security system,  
or any number of other possibilities.

I’m sorry, but without at least knowing of it lost spark or fuel it’s almost impossible to guess. Someone needs to look at it.

CEL on? Should be a code to read.
