Starting issues 95 cargo astro

Post by donzi23 »

Have a 95 astro cargo van it will not start without starter fluid, but will start after first key. Will run with no problem there after. I am figuring that its the fuel spyder. Any other suggestions what else it maybe ?

yeah, check the fuel pressure first before digging into the spider. My wifes 95 was exactly the same way, and in testing with a pressure guage, i could see that the initial fuel pressure was too low to start. It also seemed to be losing pressure back through the pump.
