Chevy Astro

Assumeing you are at the rear of your van, if you crawl under the rear bumper you will see the rear axil, the center of that axil in the differential(round part)you should see a bolt or (plug) towards the top left side facing fprward the vehical this is where you can add differential fluid you want to fill it just below the leval of the hole.....

First you take the air induction vent off from over the radiator shroud. It just pops off from the shroud. Next you look down beside the radiator and you will see bolts that you have to take loose. The radiator shroud is a 2 piece shroud. Once you get the top shroud out you can take the idler pulley loose and take the serpentine belt loose and take the fan blade off. You will be surprised with the room in there once you get that out of the way. I changed mine in about an hour. While you have all that out checked your idler pulley tension because after i replaced the water pump the idler pulley went bad and i had to replaced the serpentine belt again.

Because the ECU on those shuts off the fuel when you let off the gas rather than just scaling back. Also could be bad idle controller, especially if it's surging. Check for vacuum leaks or leaks in the turbo also. It shouldn't bog down when you make it work, should get up and go. Probably your idle controller or your ECU. This sounds like the same issue i had with my 92 talon tsi and the first thing i did was checking for vacuum leaks and there were a couple but nothing changed, i figured out the idling issue was the idle position switch next to were you can rev up your engine under the hood. This can be fixed by adjusting the nut on it. When my talon was bogging down all i had to do was change the bad fuel filter and make sure there is no fuel leaks because that can cause the bogging too

I changed the handle on my 2000 Avalon by following an on-line search result for replacing a Camry door handle for the same model year. Because many more Camrys are sold than Avalons, replacement parts are also readily available, at lower prices than the Avalon parts (they are not the same). I got my replacement handle from the local Toy dealer.

See a partial answer under " remove door panel for 1999 Avalon". That's the major part. The handle itself will be easy to replace once the panel is off.

Requires removal of: Fan shroud, serpentine belt, fan, water pump, timing cover, crank pulley(s). Requires crank pulley puller/installer tools. Requires timing gear puller to remove crank gear. Replace chain and gears together. Replace with all-metal gears, not composite sets. On this vehicle it is recommended to replace the timing cover each time it is removed.

Well, i forgot to explain myself:

Here i am: After living and working in the Bay Area (Berkeley) forabout 10+ years i have returned to my hometown in Europe.Well, i personally hate it, but my (American) wife loves the provinceand my son seems to be a little more carefree here than in the busy Bay Area.I had to give up my career ($$$+fun) and even though i was able to buy Avery nice and big European house ( paid for ) i am missing my job, the, sun andthe Bay Area life. In fact, i miss it so much that i am misserable.What to do ? I wanna be the good dad, that provides the best environmentfor his family, but i am gonna go nuts soon - it's starting to affect my family.What's right ? Pull myself together and do whatever it takes to provide orsell the house, move back, get my old job back and hope the old life will bebetter ? Please gimme your opinion. Am i selfish or shoud i take myfamily by the hand and guide'em back ...

thanx for your help

it is possibly your calipers and or rotors.

in my 88 astro van I had to completely break out the back handle to first get the door open then I was able to remove interior door cover to do thr replacement. in my 99 asto van I was able to remove the interior cover to open the door then replace the handle.

yes its gonna be called high school musical 3 senior year

and the 1st song is going to be called ''NOW OR NEVER""

Yes shes right

yes because its already out and Ive seen it

WHO EVER WROTE THIS IS SAADDD! ♥

Try treating it with Seafoam or Techron fuel system cleaners. You can buy both at most auto parts stores. Follow the directions on the can.

Sounds like it needs new plug wires and possible plugs too.

if the timing chain broke, your not going to see any rotation of the distributor rotor when the motor turns over. If it was running when the chain broke(likely), you probably have a few mashed valves and maybe piston damage also. A teardown is the only sure way to assess the damage. Sorry about your luck. :(

The answer is 5

90% of them are on the body side of the door around the hinges

On interior doors in a residence. The best location is on the latch side and in the room you will be entering.

Of course you can look for cracks, disconnected, or broken lines. Another good way it to use starter fluid. Start the engine and spray a slight amount of starter fluid on the vacuum hose connections. If there is a leak the engine will increase in revolutions. You can also use WD40 for this test, with similar results. If your car is over 10 years old, I suggest you replace all under-hood vacuum lines. Replace them one at a time as to not get confused. A very cheap repair.

The timing can be adjusted on a '95 Chevy. You must locate the timing connector for the electronic spark control. It is behind the glove box. The connector should be only 1 wire. Unplug this connector and start the truck. The timing park will be attached to the timing cover on the drivers side of engine. There is a mark on the Harmonic balancer to point to the indicator on the timing cover. The timing sshould be set at 0 on this truck. 0 is the biggest v notch on the timing indicator. once timing is set, you should shut the engine off and reconnect the connector behind the glove box. Disconnect the battery for 60 seconds to clear the ignition code that will be in the computer.

When he says behind the glove box, he means under the hood on the firewall, sometimes this one wire connector is hidden under that black plastic shield by the a/c evaporater tank.

The Wire is most Commonly found behind the glove box inside the cab. It is usually light brown with a white trace or sometimes a black trace. the wire will loop out of the main harness and should be fairly visible, but sometimes it is taped up in the main wires so take a second and look carefully..

depends what the problem is, more information would be helpful

There is a metal wire that pulls the shifting needle. you just need to get to it and tighten it by adding a few knots until it tigtens up and is accurate

I have a 2001 Honda Odyssey and have taken the van to the dealer to get the power door reset.... $50. There is apparently a breaker of some sort (not the electrical fuse) that causes the door to stop functioning if it has a problem opening or something causes it to stick when you try to open it. AVOID THE $50 CHARGE and the wasted time of having this "repaired". To reset, I tried both of these suggestions below at the same time. I found these elsewhere online... not sure which worked, but the door is working again without a trip to the mechanic. Posts elsewhere indicated that this worked on both 2000 and 2001 Honda Odyssey vans.

Suggestion #1

1.) Disable the power door switch on the left dashboard.

2.) Remove the power door fuses located under the front passenger leg area.

3.) Manually open and close both sliding doors.

4.) Restore the power door fuses located under the front passenger leg area.

5.) Enable the power door switch on the left dashboard.

6.) Try opening the sliding doors.

Suggestion #2

Remove fuse #13 (clock) for 30 seconds or more from the passenger side fusebox. This will reset the door and the clock.

the weight of a 1989 Chevy Astro Van?

Weights: gross vehicle weight rating (kg) 2,767 [approx 6100 lbs] and curb weight (kg) 1,974 [approx 4352 lbs]

Gross Weight (GVW) = Is the maximum recommended weight for a vehicle, including: the weight of the vehicle itself, fuel and other fluids, passengers, and all cargo.

Curb Weight = the weight of an automotive vehicle including fuel, coolant, and lubricants but excluding occupants and cargo.

I am the owner of a 1998 gmc safari awd van and i am 100% sure that the computer on mine is under drivers seat. Yes under drivers seat mounted to the floor.

You can use pliersto turn back but igintion will need replacement.

yes...................

Only time will tellbut my opinion is yes, knowing that North Korea just threatned to attackNorth America and that everyone is against North Korea and not putting up with crap anymore!

duct tape

That's what an alignment is for. Take it in to a good front end shop that does nothing else! Don't go to a dealer or a tire shop. They won't really be doing what's in your best interest, they just want to sell parts. A good front end shop will know how to make the repairs without spending a lot of your money, and they usually end up doing a better job.

Could also be a Ball Joint gone bad.
