Re: At wits end with 2000 Astro
Ok not the oil pump. Looks like it was a loose oil pressure switch. For the first time I under tightened. Just out of curiosity did the team that designed this van ever concieve they would place a body on it?

Re: At wits end with 2000 Astro
This van is going to send me to an institution. Over the past two days I drove about 325 miles. On the way home today the oil pressure dropped to 0. I went to pull to the side of the road and the pressure went up to about 30. When it idles it drops back to zero and the motor starts to tap. I give it...

Re: At wits end with 2000 Astro
I knew I was getting spark so I was pretty sure it was a fuel issue. I replaced everything but the fuel pump and spider injector. The fuel pump was easier to get to.
I drove her over 50 miles today and had her up near 90mph. No hiccups to report. Now I can put the interior back together.

Re: At wits end with 2000 Astro
I finally got the pump in. That tank fought me every step of the way. The van started but as I was driving it home it started to surge and stall. Now its leaking fuel from a black box on the drivers side, about 6 inches past the front door. It only leaks after I drive it for a few min then let it id...

Re: At wits end with 2000 Astro
Thanks for the input so far. Any way to determine fuel pressure without the tester? Its not in the budget right now. I know its only $40 but its just not there for a couple of days. Is there anyone out there willing to talk on the phone? I won't take up to much time. I'm just a lousy typist and it's...

The Journey Begins
Hey Everyone, I'm the new owner of 2000 Astro. My buddy bought it brand new and I got it as a gift 6 months ago. He said he was tired of watching me squeeze myself into my 93 s-10 standard cab pick up. I'm building the van slowly as a surveillance vehicle and I'll tell you these over night jobs just...
