How do you change the ignition coil on a 96 Dodge 5.2 liter van?
very easy! I have this same van. Conversion van? Remove interior cowling, find distributor cap, the center most spark plug wire will lead you to the coil which should be in the front of the engine. You will probably need to access it from under the van unless you have smaller hands. Should have two or four bolts that are easy to remove and cost new at autozone for about $22.00. Even if it is not the right price to correct your problem it will increase fuel mpg if it was original. I went from 13 miles mpg with a/c on to almost 15/17 highway. If your problem was stalling at stop lights, and your belt is making noise, take it from me, change your serpertine belt AND PULLEY$110 in parts. Changing the belt and pulley solved my stalling problems. Ohh and have you changed the fuel pump/filter any time within the last 6 years, if not you may consider it. Hard to remove tank without spilling 6 gallons of gas but easy to install, just make sure to install new FORD fuel clips when you reinsert the fuel line to the fuel tank or you may have to remove the tank a few times after driving it around the block a couple time and it wont restart. Pepboys sells two clips for 2.99 and the second clip could replace the second fuel clip on the frame below the passenger door along the frame rail.
The door lock relay is the culprit. where it is I have not a clue so far.
I have a 1994 B3000 that started doing that several years back. It was a relay that was located within a black box on the drivers side of the engine (I believe there are 3 relays in the box). I found that one of the relays was sticking. When lightly 'tapped' on it would release and the engine would start. After replacing it, the problem went away. Note Did they have the "Fuel Cutoff Switch" in those years of pickups? Typically, it's designed to remove power from the fuel system in the case of an imact or jarring. Check to see if it was somehow popped, and just push the button back in if you have one. Should be under the dash, right above or at the top of the carpet/floor mat passenger side. Little box with a single plug and a red button at the top typically. It may also be the ignition module. I had the same problem with my '94 B-3000. If it sometimes dies on you while driving it probably is the same thing. After replacing it the problem went away.The module is easy to replace. It is located on tn the front of the vehicle , drivers' side next to the radiator. Also tapping it several times may get you by until it can be replaced.
good Luck.
This sounds like a vacuum line problem. First thing I would check would be the vacuum lines and check valves contained in line with them, as well as the vacuum canister. Could also be a problem under the dash with the vacuum actuators in the HVAC unit. Another slight possibility also could be that the controller isn't functioning properly. Hope this helps. Good Luck!
Where is the crank sensor on a 96 Chevy Astro van?
It should be at the bottom front of the engine by the timing cover.
Is it better to repair head gaskets or replace the engine?
if the miles on the engine aren't too high, then just replace the head gaskets. if the whole engine is tired go ahead and swap out the motor. its a lot cheaper to do the gaskets then to buy a new motor.

I had the same problem with my '97. It took me awhile but I finally figured out that You have to loosen the inside trim panel (left inside panel) by removing the screws then pull out the panel just far enough to squeeze your hand behind it and then you can feel around for the locking mechanism rod and work it manually.Be careful not to pull the plastic trim too far out or you'll break the side that's still connected behind the hinge side.
Here's is some basic step by step instructions to replace the back door on Chevy AStro Vans 1992-2001 models. (when the door is shut and the handle broke)
1) previous answer suggest loosening the inside trim.
a) the three bottom screws on the inside trim near the floor need to be removed or loosened first.
b) the three "Star" screws holding the window to the door need to be removed
2) Carefully 'pop' and pull the inside panel from the door
a) don't worry the connectors are straight so horizontally will do
b) the top two connectors above the window don't mess with. you will probably break them and don't need to 'popped' to loosen the inside trim.
3) carefully reach inside the panel near the top above the silver brace bar.
a) lift up on the locking mechanism to unlock the door. it will stay in place once done.
b) push down on the door handle mechanism and carefully push the door open.
4) once the door is open. remove the 4 screws and the side panel to access the door handle region.
a) remove the hex washer nuts from the door handle
b) detach the silver metal bar horizontally from the handle
c) seat the new handle.
d) tighten the hex washer nuts down on the handle
e) re-attach the silver metal bar into the new handle
5) put the door back together with the inside panel
6) try the door a couple times so that it works
7) reattach the black side panel and you're done
I've done this 3 times on Astro Van door handles and this time it took 18 minutes! yeah.

The rotten egg odor means your catalytic converter is toast. If no codes were given try to determine what may have caused the cat to fail and correct before installing new one. Generally, raw fuel to the cat will cause early failure. If tune up hasn't been recent good time to check/replace/evaluate all plugs/wires plus cap & rotor.
How do you run the trailer harness to the outside under the van on a 2003 Astro?
The best answer I found for my 2002 Astro was to keep the trailer harness inside the van until needed, then simply open the door, bring out the harness, and close the doors with the harness on the floor of the van, coming out between and under the dutch doors. The rubber gaskets around the doors allow the doors to close on the harness without putting a kink in it, even. This protects the harness from weather when not in use.

How do you replace a Nissan 2006 Frontier door handle?
You park it in front of the Nissan service department nearest your home, find the first employee and say, Yo man. This thing is less than a year old. You need to hook me up with a new grab handle on this dog. That should take care of it.
How do you change a door mirror on a 2000 Chevy Astro?
There is a black triangle at the front of the side window inside. pry or pop off that black triangle off and you will find screws that hold the mirror on. Unscrew the screws and gently pull the mirror until you find the elctrical connection plug, undo that....and your mirror is free. If it is only the mirror (glass part) that is broke, go to Pep Boys or Autozone and see if they sell replacement mirrors. I am talking about a thin piece of mirror with double sided tape that you peel off and put over the broken mirror glass. It saved me a lot of bucks from changing out mirrors when all that was broken was the (glass) part.
This happens occasionally on my '96 van, especially on uneven ground. Look at the very bottom of the lower slider. There is a small piece of metal which will pivot fore and aft. Push it in and the door should release and close. The metal piece is only about 1" X 1/4 " and is silver colored. Just keep trying to move all the little parts at the bottom of the slider and you'll eventually find the one that moves. Annie
Actually I know of the indicator light which you speak Mine has just started to flash compressor not coming on I do believe that it is just low freon. will let you know more when I have mine tested.
There is not a a/c light on a 1991 chevy. Perhaps it's your alternator light? If the compressor is locked up it will more than likely burn your belt off.
