Likely culprit(s) for the code 55 on this 3.3?
MOPARTS ALERT!: Chris Pugh aka gabodyman of Dalton, Georgia, cashed my $140 money order on 4-16-02 never sent parts. On 3-19-07 he agreed to return my money; "april 9, it will be in the mail by that date""will do as promised. chris" Still no parts and no money!

Check the crank sensor. In fact, replace the crank sensor. Whether it needs it or not. They are NOTORIOUS for going bad. Its cheap and extremely easy to do. They wont always set a code.

55 is end of message. Do you have spark? Fuel pressure?
 First things first, this is where you need to start.

Ok, no spark, has momentary power at the B+ terminal at the coil as per the manual and then momentary power again while cranking. I had the ECM disconnected and now it has a flash code of 12, no 12 is listed in the manual I am using. Once again its a 1990 3.3 Caravan but my only 3.3 manual is for a 93 Acclaim.
The thing is everything seems to be intermittant, once I detected constant power at the coil B+ while cranking, I then reconnected things and it cranked like the timing was off, fired and ran poorly till it died. Now nothing again, any ideas??? Any spots in harness that may be prone to issues?

my only 3.3 manual is for a 93 Acclaim.
A 93 acclaim should be a 3.0 which is completely different.
The manual has a 3.3 - 3.8 section. It also has a 3.0 and a four cylinder section. It covers several differant letter designated Chrysler autos.
So its not a factory FSM.

It is a FSM, I should have said its a manual set we got that covered a 93 Acclaim we had, rather than imply that it was a specifically only for an Acclaim.
