Why does the fuel gauge on a 1999 Chevy Venture work until it reach's half full then won't get any lower?
I don't know, but mine is doing the same thing. Anyone know???? The fuel level sending unit is a float, connected to an open-face variable resistor on the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Most likely, the float sticks in that position, or the face of the resistor is gunked up, or broken. Having similar problems with an '02 Venture. I've seen several suggestions on using fuel system cleaners, etc. but didn't help me. The only "sure" fix is to replace the sending unit, which is not available as an aftermarket part. It's only available from GM, part number 88964333 (at least for the '02, check with GM dealer to make sure for your year model) and it's listed at $147.70 from GM. I know it's stiff, but look around on the 'Net and you can find it cheaper. I've got one on order and will try to update when I get it and let everyone know how tough it is to replace. Just a note, it's inside the tank, full of fuel, so sparks, open flames, extreme temps, etc. are a problem. Gas fumes can be explosive. Be careful. I had this problem on a '98 Venture as well as a '05 Buick Terazza. How did I beat it? I used LUCAS OIL upper cylinder lubricate, just added to the gas. NEVER had another problem with the fuel gauge sticking again. I'm not endorsing Lucas oil, just being truthful with what worked for me. Got tired of the wife running out of gas thinking she had a 1/2 tank.............NOT !!! BTW, Auto-Zone sell the 5 oz. for $6 and the 32 oz. for under $10..........I took the 32 oz., good for 6-7 tankfuls Saved me bunches $$$$

2002 Chevy venture the temperature gauge goes up you can smell coolant when it does and it goes down when you turn the heater on what is causing this?
Not sure how old this posting is but the problem could be the lower intake gasket. I just had mine replaced. If its not under warranty the dealer said it would cost $800.
Where is the map sensor located in a 1999 Chevy Venture?
The map sensor on a Chevy venture is located under the ignition module on top of the rear cilinder bank. To access it you have to remove the ignition module. It helps a bit if you rotate the engine forward and you can lower the engine for about 4 inch. you will have to unbold the subframe on the frontside, use a hydraulic jack to take the weight and lower it carefully. this gives you the extra space needed to work on it.

How do you remove the spare tire on a 2002 Chevy Venture?
The spare tire on a 2002 Chevy Venture is located under the vehicle, ahead of the rear bumper. You must attach a folding wrench to the extension and insert a chisel through a hole in the rear bumper and into the hoist shaft. When you turn the folding wrench counterclockwise, the tire will lower. Keep turning until the tire is low enough to pull out from under the vehicle.
