What is the largest tire size for 97 cheverolet astro van?
235-75-15 Front tire will EVER SO SLIGHTY rub fender well.
Your question isn't clear, but I'll offer a few thoughts. There are 2 manifolds, an intake and a exhaust. I'm not sure what you mean by "pan". It is possible that this can set a check engine light if one of the manifolds are cracked. If it is the intake it may be changing the air/fuel mixture or pressure. If it is the exhaust, depending on hte locations of the O2 sensors, it may pick up the wrong O2 content.
How do you replace the door handle on a 1994 Lincoln Mark VIII?
Take off the inside door panel. The door panel has a few screws you have to remove before you lift up and off. One screw is located behind the light lens and another is behind the door handle. Don't force anything! If it doesn't come off easy you probably forgot to remove a screw. Be very careful not to brake off the hooks that hold the panel to the door. with a socket wrench with an extension to take off the handle from the inside, take the control rods off the handle carefully, don't brake the plastic brackets. Do the same in reverse with new handle. good luck!

How do you adjust the timing on a 3000GT?
****EDIT****
He is asking how to adjust timing, not advance timing w/ a resistor. Resistors will decrease the hz the ECU sees to lean out/advance timing is cheap performance mod and should be avoided at all costs. You can find these all over Ebay, and if you buy one of these or install anything other than a piggyback/standalone to reduce your airflow to the ECU, you deserve the blown engine when it happens. They tune the ECU for a safe air fuel ratio from the factory, no need to lean it out to the borderline of knock/engine failure. If you do, at the very least do yourself & engine a favor and get a datalogger to monitor knock, and a wideband 02 sensor to see what your AFR actually is.
TO ADJUST IGNITION TIMING (valve timing is a different animal)
1.) locate the tan/brown plug between passenger strut tower & firewall (near where all the engine wiring comes through the wall)
2.) take the cap off, jump a wire from that terminal to the frame of the car. This puts the ECU into a fixed mode, so it will not automatically adjust ignition timing.
3.) hook up a timing light to #1 plug wire (can do loan a tool from autozone/advance auto)
4.) start car and point light down to crankshaft harmonic balancer (pulley).
5.) You will see the notch on the pulley, make sure it is at 5 degrees BTDC, + or - 2.
6.) If not, rotate the sensor until it is, then lock it down. Turn off the car, remove the jumped wire, then restart the car. The timing should now automatically adjust to about 15 degrees.
7.) If the car doesn't start, you may need to rotate the CAS arm 180 degrees, then re-install.

How do you replace instrument panel lights on 1992 Chev Astro?
Remove: 2 instrument cluster bezel screws, on underside above steering wheel. 1 screw under left side A/C duct, 2 screws under HVAC control assembly, 1 screw behind control assembly. Disconnect HVAC control assembly. Loosen bezel by pulling out of clips holding it in. Disconnect electrical connectors for any switches in lower left side of bezel. Disconnect headlamp switch. Remove bezel. If there is enough clearance not all of the steps below may be necessary. Remove engine cover and lower instrument panel insulator. Disconnect PRNDL shift cable.
Remove 2 screws from cluster assembly and pull assembly forward. Lamp and socket assemblies are one piece and can now be removed by turning the assembly and pulling it out. Replace lamps and sockets as one piece. Change them all now!! There are 6 #194's and 10 # 74's.
To reassemble, re-install the cluster and reconnect all connectors. With the transmission shift lever in neutral, pull on shift cable until the needle indicates neutral. Attach cable securely to lower shift bowl. Make sure needle is centered on the N. The cable must rest on the shift bowl and not the column jacket. Re-install the lower I/P insulator and engine cover. Reconnect all connectors to light switch and accessory switches and reinstall bezel cover. Reinstall HVAC controls and tighten all screws to 12 inch pounds of torque.
The above info is from the 1995 service manual. The dash boards are pretty much the same as 1992. I had a 1991 and a 1995.

How do you change sparkplugs on a 2000 astro van?
I'd remove the dog house (the engine cover) and make sure the engine is cool. 1996 or newer astro's don't need their plugs changed 100,000 miles because they are platinum plugs. Twist the plug wire boot to loosen it and pull it off the plug. Useing a 5/8" plug socket or deep 5/8" socket remove one plug at a time so as not to get the plug wires out of sequence. Some of the plugs are a little difficult to reach, but sometimes a short 3/8" extension helps. Reverse the proceedure and install the new plugs. Before you reinstall the engine cover start the engine for a minuite to make sure it runs smoothly. This is incase one of the spark plug wires were installed wrong. If you only pull one plug wire at a time you should be fine. Just be patient as some of the plugs are really hard to reach. If you do some of your van maintence I'd recommend purchasins a Repair parts manual from one of your local parts stores. They can sometime be real handy.when trouble shooting problems or just want to know how to find a part location.
Jiggle the shifer knob, sounds like the neutral safety switch is not engaged or has gone band, or you have a blown fuse, or you may have a bad starter solenoid/starter. Usually it is one of the three.
