Astros and Safaris often have a problem with plugged fuel jets. Once it's running the flow is better but the problem while idling is not solved. GM makes a fuel treatment product that works well to prevent the plugged fuel jet (recommended once a year)and it could help to use the treatment now. It could be your motor mounts and transmission mount are worn out. We had the same problem and we were told it could be the transmission, fuel system, etc. The dealer wanted over $500 to repair it. We got all three mounts at Auto Zone for $60 and my husband fixed it in an afternoon.

The General Motors Company Safari Van was made from 1985 to 2005. The GMC Safari shared its platform with its sibling the GMC Astro van, which was very similar.
The Chevrolet Astro was discontinued in 2005, along with the GMC Safari, getting replaced by the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savanna. The Asro and Safari were having troble with gasoline and their motor, so they decided to discontinue them and replace them with the Express and Savanna.
