Re: running rough--all rpm's

Update for CPI spider users. I had put that last injector in in early 2013. Late 2013 for a smog check, van wouldn't pass. We didn't have money for a new spider until this year, so in January I got a new spider and it passed the smog check. In May it started running rough again. Water test showed #1...

Re: running rough--all rpm's

Well, I'm back again. My astro began running rough again, I think it started back in November. I did all the tune up things, but it all looked good. One plug looked dry(6) as I was checking things. I felt as though I had dropped two cylinders. I ordered a new injector spider and replaced it. Back to...

Re: running rough--all rpm's

after more research, i will be ordering a new spider assembly. as i thought about it, i think i had only changed the FPR previously. at 220kms, i could spring for a complete new spider assembly. i'm guessing that one of the poppets is stuck, and 'while i'm in there' i might as well do the whole thin...

Re: running rough--all rpm's

Okay. i pulled the spark plug wires individually at the distributor and found that there was no change when i pulled # 4. i did a compression check on #4 and it came up good (160#). the plug did not appear wet. is it possible that there is something wrong in the fuel spider? it's been so long that i...

Re: running rough--all rpm's

thanks for the help. yes, i have changed the o2 sensor previously. i did the full tune-up last summer before the cali smog check, including a new coil. one plug(driver's side rear) looked oil or carbon-fouled. it was completely filled in between the electrodes. i didn't notice any poor running then....

'95 astro, w engine. 219,000 miles. i've owned it for 12 years and 150k miles. so far it's been mostly great. in years past, I have replaced the fuel pump, cpi spider, and put in the egr screen. now it has developed a misfire at all rpm's. it is not a random misfire, very rythmic. the v...
