Hi, rjechoes, and welcome! You might also want to ask the folks in the Electronic Gremlins: Electrical Problems that are driving you crazy discussion what they think.

I assume you have the 3400 (3.4 litre) engine. If so, your coolant leak may have been the cause of the engine's demise. These engines have a problem with the intake manifold gaskets eventually failing. This allows coolant to enter the crankcase and mix with the oil. When this happens, the oils ability to lubricate key components such as bearings is greatly compromised. If not addressed quickly, the bearings get "wiped out" - motor failure.

Hi erlsgrls, removing any door panel you have to consider:
1. you almost always have to pop out the plastic piece around the door handle, and remove 2 screws, and/or remove the armwrest with 2 screws. (If you need more details email (secretagent4thstoogeyahoo.com) me and I will look closer at my van this weekend).
2. They make a tool to help pop the plastic fasteners out without breaking them, but I have never bought one, don't bother, you can do it without it, and if you break a plastic fastener they are cheap and easy to replace.
3. start with a thin, almost flat, flat bar/pry bar/big screwdriver, and slide it up a few inches behind the door panel near the lower left corner, don't pry like you are prying to boards apart, wiggle the tool a little at a time until you can slide a few fingers under the door panel.
4. keep gently tugging the door panel so you can slide your finger near the 1st plastic fastener, then give it a few good yanks straight out,
5. repeat for other plastic fastener you find holding the bottom half of the door panel to the door, then lift the door panel out and up, it is in clips near the window at the top and you just yank it up at the top to release.
6. if you are careful you can peel the plastic insulation back and re-stick it when you are done.

Has anyone every replaced their coil packs? They are tucked up in there good. I am going to replace with Accel coil packs, and I want to make sure that it is not a major operation.

I bought my 01 Venture just over a year ago (Aug 04). I loved it until my wipers went crazy 4 days after I bought it. The fine GM dealer refused to do anything about it until a show was made to the owner in his show room. These are the problems I've had in the last year with this fine Chev product:
Wiper control arm,
Intake manifold gasket leak,
Rear wiper no longer works,
Radio is locked,
Instrument cluster has no lights,
Gauges are not working,
Blinker problems,
LR power lock interminent,
Right power window came off bracket,
Front disc and pads replaced.
 
Sounds like other people are having similar problems. DO NOT buy a van in the montana/venture family.

I'm new to the site. i have a 2001 chevy venture and fell in love with it. my mechanic told me my head gasket need replaced. 1st why does it take so many hours to replace the $300.00 gasket. they told me 17 hours worth of work which equates to $1,000. I find this hard to believe. 2nd my van runs great, what signs should i see if my head gasket is going bad? yes, i am getting a second opinion. i just want to be more on top of things when i get my 2nd opinon. can anyone help me?

What did you find out about the Keyless entry for the Venture. I've got the same problems you have, but I haven't won any of the bids on ebay. I placed a bid last night that had 4 days left on it, then this morning I see that I have "lost" the bid and the only ones still available for the venture are all "Buy it now" at twice the price I bid last night.

I have a 2003 Chevy Venture and my passager side window rolled down today and now won't go back up. The other side works, Has anybody had this problem, do you know how to fix it or is this a dealership thing? Does anybody have any solutions for this
