#1048 of 1889 Re: 87 astro Running Problems [rsj428] by offroadal Sep 20, 2005 (5:44 pm)
Replying to: rsj428 (Sep 19, 2005 2:28 pm) i forget the exact name of the part, but its a spring in the throttle body area. my 90 astro did the same thing for a year drove it like that. its a easy part to repair, its a spring, inside of a diaphram in the throttle body area, sorry i cant tell you more but i would almost bet thats the prob. ask the auto parts store about it, they prob will know what you mean. good luck.

Replying to: dragon300zx (Sep 09, 2005 9:59 am) been there - if i had to guess at that - you have a bad carrier bearing - hopefully not a pinion - the rear diff cover has a magnet on the bottom to collect metal filings/debris - anyway for some reason my cracked and i found pieces of it in my carrier baring, the low growl will get more definitive with time meaning - louder - not an urgent matter but does not hurt to look after it in few months - thats saying that you dont drive long distances.

#1051 of 1889 Re: Motor mounts on a 95 astro [kelly13] by kenbaker Sep 26, 2005 (8:55 am)
Replying to: kelly13 (Aug 02, 2005 3:21 pm) I have had exactly this problem on a '94 Safari, and it was two, or three things... 1) bad motor mount(s), bottom or driver's side mount certainly bad, 2) EGR valve faulty, clogged or sticky, 3) fan touching shroud (see motor mount(s) problem), but clutch on fan also not really up to spec any more. Problem always worst in reverse, assume motor shifts around. Idle rough and/or vribration worst in gear, stopped, and applying the brakes firmly. Always much less in Neutral or Park, but noticeable when the brakes are applied firmly in PARK too. Fixed EGR first, runs much better, espec. at idle. Found engine mount problem while underneath looking for Fan problems/ fixing with new fan clutch. Changing motor mounts not easy on mine, as I have the auxillary oil cooler option and the hoses/tubes mount to the motor mount bracket and most of the bolts are completely buried in the brackets and the space is mucho tight to do under-car wihtout a lift. kab

Just replaced the bearings in the rear end but gears are still whirling on de-acceleration. How long till it goes? Water pump making some noise. Has recent alternator, rear-end seals, engine is strong doesn't use too much oil. Tranny seems fine. Keep this car until it dies??? Own free and clear. Bought new in 2000. If rear end goes, should I go junkyard ($750) replacement???
#1053 of 1889 Fuel Gauge Problems by one87zuk Sep 27, 2005 (1:53 pm)
Recently, my 2000 Safari fuel gauge has started acting up. It seems to effect the entire system. I have the over head console that calculates mileage, fuel usage, etc. The fuel gauge will read 1/2 full and the console will say I have 500 miles till I run out of fuel. The next time I look. The low fuel light will be on and I still have 300 miles left.   Any ideas on where to start looking for what is going on? Do I need a new gauge? Sensor?
#1054 of 1889 Re: 87 astro fuel gauge problem [lukesdad] by 89astroboy Sep 30, 2005 (4:31 pm)
Replying to: lukesdad (Sep 20, 2005 12:10 pm) hey hows it going. I had a very similar problem with my 89 astro so i thought i would drop you a line. My problem first was i kept blowing the gauges fuse now and then and finally all my gauges stopped one day. Turns out one of two pink wires that feed power from the gauge fuse to the gauge cluster had worn a bare spot on the insulation and was grounding out. to correct this i pulled the cluster and located the pink wires(pink on my 89 astro, as for 87 SAME???) I tracked the color of wire in a haynes manual. all i did was run a new wire down to an accesory spot on my fuse panel, and all has been good since. I hope this helps ya!!

Hi there people; Need advice asap. Trying to replace a fan belt on this vehicle without using the air compressor. Have been told it is possible by various auto part's stores. It's my grandson's vehicle and he does not have the money to repair the air right now. Have remove all the shroud, air filter and etc. Have a clean approach. Have measured and baught a proper size belt. Have installed this belt (But) when installed and the tension adjustment is applied the belt rides and rubs against itself on the water pump, fan pulley. QUESTION: Is there any additional idler's or larger pulley's or another routing that must be used or is it not possible to do this ? Thank's Bozie Replies to this message: cob (Oct 03, 2005 8:06 am)

Replying to: bozie (Oct 02, 2005 1:39 am) There should be two different belt routing diagrams under the hood. One to use with A/C and one if you do not have A/C.
