#1822 of 1888 Re: fuel pressure on an '04 [dlm1954] by the_big_al Nov 15, 2008 (5:06 pm)
Replying to: dlm1954 (Nov 15, 2008 10:28 am) ya - I didn't want to take off the engine cover... So I think I'll just loosen the nuts on the filter VERY slowly and hope it bleeds off slowly without spraying me. I've had a fuel filter phobia ever since my S-10 sprayed me while changing the filter. Although the S-10 had the quick connect and the Astro has screw on fittings on both ends.

Replying to: chevysucs (Mar 18, 2000 4:58 am) One way to get the headlights to go off is to put just a very little pressure on the emergency brake peddle . Replies to this message: the_big_al (Nov 26, 2008 10:42 pm)

Replying to: trailmaster660 (Nov 26, 2008 10:25 am) or you could just push the dome light swirch 4 or 5 times within 5 seconds... that turns off the DRL's and the auto-lights. At least on my '04. It also does the same on my '01 S-10 so I woulkd assume that this would be true for an Astro made in this century.

#1827 of 1888 GMC SAFARI 03 by reyahk Jan 01, 2009 (7:19 am)
Hello ,I drove and park my van as usual and after 4 days was unable to start.The motor would turn over but not start.A mechanic advised me to change the distributor cap,rotor and I also bought new wires and plugs.After changing the dis cap and rotor the vehicle started first key,then he switched off to change the wires.... now after several tries vehicle started but with a missing or backfire sound.. wires was checked and yes correctly replaced... so now vehicle is starting but no acceleration power to move,so I was advised to have the distributor replaced with a new one which i did but with same result, vehicle starting but no power to move..... any idea?

Since it seemed to run well after dist cap & rotor, I would strongly suggest dbbl checking the wire specs, integrity of the install and the possibility of new defective wires. Perhaps reinstall the old ones temporarily.   Good Luck

Replying to: reyahk (Jan 01, 2009 7:19 am) I would check the fuel pressure. That is unless I'm missing half of the previous post. I dont know the reason why you started with the wires before fuel pressure.

Replying to: reyahk (Jan 01, 2009 7:19 am) Check to see that when you put the new wires in you started from the right hole. It sounds like you may be one hole out.

Replying to: dsiever (Aug 11, 2008 8:56 am) MAke sure the wires are correctly replaced to the right cylinders. and the timing was properly done,if these things are done have a muffler person examine your catalic converter and exaust system....... good luck
