OK this may be the stupid question of the day but.... My rear view mirror fell off the windshield. Now its in one piece in my hand, and I know the aluminum plate gets glued to the windshield and the mirror attaches to it with a set screw..but... I cant seem to get the pieces apart to get to the set ...

Look on this site, someone has posted a detailed fix for leaking cooler lines. It's very simple and they even have pics to show how it was done. The only cost was 4 worm clamps.

The solution to this problem was a left bank front O2 sensor...runs great now

Got it...

I'm removing the cooling fan on my 2000 4.3 Astro van. Is that fan threaded onto the waterpump shaft or just held on by the pulley bolts ?

Thanks for all the help.... I finally got the codes, P300, P172 & P175. I changed the left front O2 sensor and the coolant temp sensor and it runs great now.

Sorry... I thought I had done that. Its a 2000 4.3
Pulling my hair out on this one. Today I changed the plugs, wires, cap and rotor and it still runs like crap after about a half hour of driving. Any help is appreciated.

I've owned my van for a week and have driven it twice. I dont know much about the history of it but was told it had heads replaced due to an overheating issue.

Just purchased my 2000 Astro van with 141k and having numerous problems. On the first day I replaced the fuel pressure regulator on a recommendation from a friend due to rough Idle and P 300 code for random misfires. It ran ok on short trips. Today was the first real drive in it, and it wont acceler...

Update... I replaced the cooler lines, cleaned the undercarriage and oil pan, drove it and I still have a pretty good leak going on.

Changed it as fast as the thought entered my head... Cleaned up the oil and drove it around. Still found oil on the bottom of pan and frame.

Thanks, I was thinking the cooler lines, but it looks as though it's coming from where the tc cover and the pan meet. Unless the cooler line is spraying it that way. Another thought was with the leaking fuel press regulator, could it have washed into the oil, adding to it and building unwanted press...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the site, as well as a new (2000) Astro van owner. My first day of ownership I had to replace the fuel pressure regulator. Upon completion of that task I was reving the engine to clear out the loaded fuel and noticed a nice size puddle of oil under the van. After cleaning the...
