My 97 astro van makes a nasty grinding noise when slowing down but noise disappear when accelerating or cruising speed?

It sounds a lot like you have a brake problem. You need to get it checked out before any more serious damage is done, and it costs you a fortune.

How do you turn off air bag light on 95 dodge ram 1500 pickup?

If the light is on the airbag system is disabled, and there's a problem. You can't just shut it off. Hook up a scan tool and retrieve the fault code and fix it right. or the airbags will not deploy if you're in an accident.

Prolog:

I'm pretty sure we all know to fix the problem, but most of us just left the airbag lock unplugged or the seat unplugged when we turned the key on. I too am searching for a cure. I know Nissan titan's you can key on key off 3 times to reset.

Chevrolet astro alternator removal?

Trained monkeys work best. Their hands can fit in there.

2002 Astro broken door handle?

This is a common fault in Chevy Astro, and reasonably easy to fix. I had to replace all in my 1988 and starting the process in my 1998. Chevy dealers stock these parts due to popularity. All you have to do is remove the inner door panel (you may want to also by a couple spare fasteners you break at this feat). Handles just bolt in and connect to control rods.

Why is the AC air cold and the blower is working but no air is coming out of the vents on a Chevy Astro van 6 Cy when ac is on and charged It blows hot air?

The air should be comming out of the defroster vents. If so, most likely, it is the vacuum line that controls the vents. It is on top of the engine below the air cleaner, and runs to the front right of the engine.

Buy the replacment so you know what your are looking for.

How do you replace the fuel pump on a 97 Astro Van?

Why does my 1991 Corvette idle rough?

A rough idle on the 91 vette could be from a variety of reasons. Bad, worn out, or loose spark plugs. Worn out or damaged spark plug wires could be the cause. It could also be the optispark (Distributor for these cars). I have also seen fuel injectors create a rough running condition on these cars as well. Start simple, and don't go to deep in the beginning look at the surface issues and look deeper as you rule out the most obvious culprits. There are many things on these cars that will cause a rough idle but it is better to rule out the cheap and easy to fix causes first. Check the plugs, do a compression test, test the wires, coil, and injectors and what not before you start throwing parts at it. The compression test is a good thing only because these cars run really hot, and some don't engage the cooling fans until 240+ degrees, so it is possible to see a crack in the head, head gasket leak, ect on these especially if the cooling system has not had a good maintenance record.

Answer

You won't find an Optispark distributor on a 1991 Corvette. The 91 vette has the L98 engine, which uses a more traditional distributor. 1992 was the first year of the Generation 2 LT1 engine that uses the Optispark. It is true that many issues can cause rough idle. Rough idle can often be caused by a vacuum leak. Check for leaks, including a ruptured bladder in the EGR valve, which will act as a vacuum leak. So, that is something else to consider.

How do you fix a horn that doesnt work on a 92 astro van?

Many times the horn itself could be bad; if you have power to the horn and no sound, replace the horn. I would get one from a salvage yard for $10-15.

What would be the steps to track down a problem of no heat blowing out the floor vents on a 98 Jimmy?

This problem can be an expensive one to fix because the whole heater box has to come apart. There is a plastic "hinge" that controls the opening and closing of the door. It is easily broken and jams up. The whole assembly has to be replaced. It's not an easy fix.

How does the selector switch work for switching from floor to ac to defrost in a 2000 astro?

it works by vacuum .if it is not working more often than not a vacuum hose is rotted. this one is hard to get at . it runs from the top of the engine to a round black ball down by the passenger front tire .start by finding the ball [a little bigger than a soft ball ]and trace the small hose back to the tee connector under the dog house [engine cover] i have used small gas hose and silicone and it works great.hope it helps and good luck.

How much should it cost to replace the motor and transmission mounts for a 1999 Infinity GS20?

$800-$1000 parts and labor

I have a 2000 G20 and was needing motor mount and transmission mount

Luckily I found a complete set on line for $300.00 from O.C. Nissan in California.

I live in Texas. I went to a mechanic who works on my type of cars and he quoted me $ 300.00 to change the whole set.

So I spent around $ 600.00 and change.

If you go to the dealer you will spend lots of money for sure.

Shop around online and you can find good deals on many parts and have a mechanic put them on for you. You can save money like that. I did!

Good luck.

Why does my 95 pathfinder start idle nice but when the gas peddle is pressed it stalls?

My 1996 Pathfinder would start and idle fine but when the accelerator was pushed down the engine would stall and surge (at about 2000 RPM). The problem was a broken wire on the connector to the air flow mass sensor. When the connector was removed entirely the engine failed in the same way. The left most wire was the one broken of three wires, when I repaired this connection all was good. This connector carries both air intake volume info and air temperature info.

What do you do for a hood that won't open on 99 astro van?

You might try rolling up all windows, then pull the hood release and slam the driver's door closed fairly hard. Sometimes the compression of the air within the vehicle will pop the hood open. If it works, you should spray the hood locking mechanism with WD-40 or some penetrating oil. I have to spray my 2002 Astro several times a year to keep it working properly.

Why would passenger side power window go up but not down on my 1990 astro van?

A faulty power window switch or faulty wiring. The motor works in either direction (there is only one motor per window), so it's not the motor but the wiring or the window switch. Unless the motor control is damaged, that is. Check the switch for continuity first, then check the continuity of the wiring. If you don't find the fault in either of those places, check the motor assembly. Post back here with your findings. Thank you.
