Replying to: 442dude (May 18, 2009 6:46 pm) I can't visually see any water after a 30 minute drive but things look a little rusted. Is this the only indication that it is shot? Do you think the squeeling could be coming from anything else?

Replying to: jeddry (May 19, 2009 2:09 pm) squealing: If it is doing it while sitting idle in your driveway it is a bearing going out on one component on the serpenntine belt.   I have also replace the power stearing pump.   My suggestion to you would be to remove the belt, pull off the pullies one by one and feel with you fingers how easy/hard it is to turn. It should turn fairly easy with no (NO) bumpy feeling at all.   a drastic suggestion: check your parts place for returns! you can always take the approach of changing things out till you find the problem!

Replying to: chases (May 19, 2009 2:19 pm) Is it hard to change the water pump? Anything I should know before starting? What about this idler arm, what could that cause? Replies to this message: 442dude (May 19, 2009 4:25 pm) chases (May 20, 2009 7:01 am)
#2441 of 2455 2000 Chevy Venture, Many problems. by corbyzmom May 19, 2009 (4:11 pm)
Ok, I bought a 2000 Chevy Venture 2 weeks ago and it has some problems. When driving it after it warms up for a bit, it tends to stutter/stall, typically under 40 mph. We replaced the crankshaft sensor, not sure which one, A or B, but it was behind the tensioner pulley. Now it it throwing a few codes. One is P0742, Torque Converter Circuit is stuck on, and Two is, P0336, Crank Shaft position sensor A, check range and performance. I m no mechanic by any means, but I do know that if it is the Torque Converter Clutch Switch, the tranny has to be pulled, which I cannot afford to have done. Any ideas on what could be going on? Thanks in advance. Oh, and I forgot to add.... sometimes when you start the van, it immediately dies, and it takes a few times to get it started, and usually once you start it, it idles very rough for the first few minutes.

Replying to: jeddry (May 19, 2009 2:58 pm) If you've ever changed a water pump, the one on the 3.4 is no harder or easier than any other. Most important things are that you torque the bolts correctly and you bleed the air out of the system when you refill.

Replying to: corbyzmom (May 19, 2009 4:11 pm) When you replaced the crankshaft position sensor, did you hook it up to a scanner to calibrate it? There's a learn procedure when you replace it... if you don't do the learn procedure it gets funky readings. It likely also explains the start and stall as well as the Check engine light..   As for the TCC - if the switch is stuck on, the torque converter is staying locked and is likely causing the stutter & stall under 40 MPH. Unfortunately, it has to be replaced. You can try changing the trans fluid & filter as I've seen that cure a stuck TCC but likely you'll need to have it repaired. They don't have to remove the trans but they have to remove a bunch of stuff to get to it. If you're not above average with tools its best left to a mechanic.

Replying to: jeddry (May 19, 2009 2:58 pm) Just a couple of bolts and two hoses to unhook and its out of there.
#2445 of 2455 Remote Control for 2003 Venture Van by motherhen68 May 22, 2009 (1:16 pm)
I have been reading many posts regarding the entertainment system in my now six year old (2003) Chevy Venture Van. We bought the van new and now it is time to replace the dvd player and the remote or get it fixed. It will only play brand new movies and even after repeatedly changing the batteries, the remote no longer works.   I spoke to a Chevy dealer who had the hardest time finding out who the manufacturer of the dvd player is. Since he wasn't able to find it even by calling GM (very helpful) I was wondering if anyone out there had this information? Also, does anyone know of a reputable company that will sell me a refurbished dvd player and remote for my 2003 Venutre Van? Thanks, motherhen68 Replies to this message: 442dude (May 22, 2009 6:46 pm)

Replying to: motherhen68 (May 22, 2009 1:16 pm) Panasonic manufactured the DVD players for GM. Don't even bother trying to get a refurbished one, it won't be much better than the one you have now - if you really want a DVD player, find a reputable car audio/video installer in your area and have them tell you what your aftermarket options are. You may find that your options in the aftermarket are even better than the original...

Replying to: sjc1041 (Jul 06, 2007 5:33 pm) On most minivans, rear plugs can be reached by jacking up the vehicle, crawling underneath to a point behind the rear tires, and looking up. You may need extensions on you rachette.
