Why would your van just shut off?
It happened to my van a long time ago, after I loosened the gas tank cap, it never happened again. I guess the ventilation or gas tank cap malfunctioned so no air was let in. You can try this one. .
What do you check if a 97 Cavalier won't start even after you put a new fuel pump in?
Fuse, or fuel pump relay. check to see if power is reaching the fuel pump conecter just be for it goes into the tank if no power check the relay and the fuese if good check for spark if no spark try the crank shaft sensor and cam shaft senor it may have a low oil shout off sensor
How much does it cost to replace the head in a 1997 Lumina?
It depends on your mechanic, and what he charges for his services. I want to know why you wish to replace the head. Are you sure it is beyond repair? Is the head cast steel or aluminum? Hard to answer your question w/o full knowledge of the problem. I would guess the cost at or about 450-900 dollars.
Why would a 2000 Toyota Camry turn over but not start?
It always gets back to fuel, ignition and compression. If you're getting all 3, it will start. If it's not starting, find out which is missing. Start with a little starting fluid while someone attempts to start the engine. If it starts briefly, it's a fuel problem.
What can cause low flow egr problem?
Carbon build up.
Sticky or stuck EGR valve.
Vacuum supply line damaged/leaking.
Faulty EGR valve.
Faulty EGR Position sensor/wiring.
What make the van run sluggish?
it could be many things, start off with a good tune up and go from there.
How do you turn off a blinking Air Bag light?
check the fuse box or it could mean the alternator is broken i checked the fuses and alternator they are both fine
The president was Bill Clintion in 1994 that's what was going on
What is the gas mileage of a 2000 Chevy Astro?
Horrible...thats's what it is. It needs about 18 - 22 Liter per 100km. Mine is an awd cargo. If you are looking for fuel efficiency...look at other vehicles.
Where can you find a repair manual online to fix a 1990 Chevy Astro Van 4.3 fuel pump?
You can't fix the pump, only replace it. It is located in the fuel tank. I know of no online repair manual. Go to any Auto Parts store and purchase a Hayne's or Chilton's repair manual. Around $15
Where is the fusible link for the ignition on a 1986 GMC suburban 6.2 diesel?
1973-86 C/K and 1987-91 R/V GM Pickup, Suburban, and Fullsize Blazer Fusible links are attached to the large starter lug along with the battery cable.
They run from the main harness on the firewall down to the starter "battery" lug, along with the "start" and "power with start" wires, through a wire protector attached to one or more bellhousing bolts.
Original GM fusible links can be identified by a large diameter molded rubber or PVC ring on the wire.
Why would a 1997 Astro not start when it rains?
I dealt with this problem on a 1999 Astro for almost a year. I replaced the rotor, cap wires, ignition control module, and the crank shaft sensor. I finally figured out that it was a defective ignition coil (would arc out in wet or humid weather. Pretty easy to change. Only costs about $50.
AnswerI am guessing the car (van) runs fine when it is not raining?Things that it �Could� be (this is not a complete list):
- Bad, Cracked, or Cheap distributor cap.
- Contaminated MAF sensor
- Bad O2 sensor(s)
- Bad or Cheap spark plugs
- Bad or Cheap plug wires
Explanation: A bad or cracked distributor cap would allow moisture to get into the cap, normally this causes backfiring � but not always. It also interferes with the rest of the spark circuit � the wires and plugs are basically the same thing, from the excess water in the air. The OBDII system does not use a BARO sensor to determine air density or humidity, it uses a learned routine from the MAF, MAP, and O2 sensors to determine the figure.
This is the exact problem that I have with my current 1997 van. I have 20 years experience at working on cars, am ASAE certified for computer electronics, and I still do not know �yet.�
In My Situation: There is no backfiring, and there are no trouble codes present. The O2 sensors have been replaced and there is no apparent contamination of the MAF sensor. The distributor cap has been replaced (twice) the second time it was coated with an electrical sealer(outside only), and sealer (electrical RTV) was placed at the base; the Coil and internal components of the distributor have been replaced as well. That does not mean that these things are not bad in your situation, but if they are not you are in for a long diagnostic in finding the trouble.
UpdateThere seems to be a chance that rain can run into the Air Temperature Sender on the air intake hose. If there is no seal or a bad seal on the hood it allows water to run down the inside of the fire wall. The placement of the sensor is right in line with a leak of this nature, and it points up so that it can catch water. This sensor is a simple resistor that reacts to temperature, so any change in resistance (like conductivity of water) changes its readings.Location: The air intake hose is approximately 4� in diam. And runs from the air intake box (where the air filter is) to the intake manifold, this hose also houses the MAF sensor. On this hose just under the firewall is a small plug with 2 wires (the plug should point up) and this is the ATS.
Solution: I would NOT suggest using any form of sealer on this sensor, or the plug. It could make it impossible to replace or interfere with its function. I would NOT suggest trying to �turn� the hose; First it may crack as it is now formed because of age and heat, Second, it could adversely affect the MAF sensor. We placed a small piece of rubber weather-stripping on the firewall just to the right of the Windshield wiper motor. Purchase a small amount of 3/8 inch automotive weather-stripping and some weather-strip adhesive from your local parts house. Use a green scrubbing pad (that you would use for dishes) and lightly scrub that area with a grease fighting dishwashing soap. Thoroughly dry the area, then cut and glue the weather-strip to deflect water away from this sensor. I have not had this problem since doing this.
New Info from another owner- I own a 2002 GMC Safari and found that my catalytic converters were clogged and this is what was causing it to be very sluggish and I could not go much over 35-45MPH. This may have also contributed to hard starting. I did replace my spark plugs, rotor, wires and caps (what a nightmare) and starting was a little easier (and this was before the catalytic converter replacement.
94 astro vanwill only start if the gas peddle is to the floorIt stalls as soon as you let off of it?
94 astro will only start if the gas peddle is to the floor and it sounds really rough ,it stalls as soon as you let off the gas
How do you remove the steering wheel from a 2000 Chevy Astro van?
How do you remove the steering wheel on a 1998 Chevy astro van
It is a pet sensor and turns of the interior sensors while your dog is it the car.
What would make the gas gauge flicker from empty to full on a 2000 Chevy Astro Van?
i have seen many fuel level sending units go bad in the fuel tank. The little fingers on them wear off. If this is occurring in park or neutral with the fuel sloshing, it is a normal condition due to the buffer being disengaged in the cluster.
- edit by jwko - if the tank was not full of gas and the guage went to full could also be a bad ground. Check grounds ( there will be several ) so you will have to look close.
