'00 Astro Starts - Runs for 5 secs

Post by rodbow »

Astro unstarted for a yr. so I changed out gas and got a new batt. Still does the same thing it did a yr ago - starts well, sounds good but only runs for 5-10 secs before shutting off (no dieseling or other odd sounds).

Has spark and fuel pressure. I think its a vacuum leak but can't find culprit.

taking ANY suggestions!
