Will do; thanks again!

How is the cap and rotor condition? Nice catch! I pulled the interior cover off, removed the cap and chipped all the crusty crap off the contacts. The contacts still look pretty good, so I put it back on. Connect the battery, start it and bingo! It's running normally again. Took it for a little dri...

I reset the SES and started the engine and immediately the light came back on and I got the same code again. I don't have much electrical testing equipment on me right now, but when I can, I'll post back. Thanks very much for the information, everyone.

I'm new to working on automotive applications, so I'm not quite sure what's going on, then. If it's a fault in the ignition system or EST circuit, then why is the transmission acting funny?

I checked the transmission fluid; didn't smell burnt, looks healthy. We didn't hammer on anything to get it out of the snow, just hooked up a truck and pulled it out. Now, as for the code.

Howdy, folks! Having a little problem with my van and I hear this is the place to ask questions. I have a 1994 Astro EXT. stock with 4.3 V6 and 4L60E transmission, 130,000 miles. Recently it's been having problems. Five times out of 6 the check engine light comes on and stays on at startup. I pull i...

I would post them as pics if I wanted to go and resize them, but I'm lazy. I don't like to post pictures that might stretch the page since that always annoys me, is all. Plus, this site seems to be pretty slow at loading for me, and I didn't want to make it any slower. Anyways, I'm happy with my van...

As people have requested, here are some pictures of my ride! I don't feel like resizing them, so I'll just post links. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y259/Varmint264/94ast1.jpg Me ready to go cruising! That's my mother's 1998 Safari AWD behind mine. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y259/Varmint264...

Hey! I'm a soon-to-be college student with his first vehicle, a 1994 Astro CS. I've already joined the Astrosafari.com forums, and on there I am known as Varmint264. Nice to have another forum to go to when that one has issues, eh? As for the name "VinnyVan", my name is Vincent and I don't...
