The eastiest way is to pay a mechanic to do the job for you while you are having a beer

I had the same problem. You are correct, this is caused by the vacuum lines in the engine compartment. They are notorious for drying and cracking. The line that is the likely culprit runs from the driver's side valve cover to the front passenger side engine compartment where it connects to a valve that contains several vacuum lines. I would recommend replacing all your vacuum lines. It's not really difficult to do, but it is easier to reach the one at the back of the engine by taking off the engine cover inside the van. The cost of the repair is about $2 if you do it yourself. It's not very difficult to do and it will most certainly fix your air conditioning problem.

May be a late posting but the change or erratic positioning of letters on the display on your dashboard is signaling the need to change the neutral position switch on the transmission (end of shift cable). It may set you back about $ 50 or so for the part/accessory, but it works like a charm! No more musical letters on the dashboard display.

Chjevy Astro Van 1995, electrical problems? by ferastro1995

Hi everyone, I need some help.
I have a 1995 Astro Van V-6 4WD (250.000 miles...a lot I know...) and this is my story:
 
The engine shot down, and the "Check engine" light started to pop up. I parked on the side of the road, and a few seconds later, I started the engine with no problems( no funny nosies, no smoke) but it shot down again.
 
Finally I towed away my van, once in my house ( about 2 hours later) I tried again, and the engine started and shot down in a few seconds. Now it doesn't start any more (sounds like it is going to start but nothing).
 
In the past, I noticed some strange behaviors with the ligths ( when I turn on the ligths they don't start inmediatly, they take some seconds to do it).
Some times, when I turn the ligths off, the engine shots down...
 
..I already checked fuses and they are OK, so my question is; any idea what kind of problem do I have? what could I do next?
 
This is my work horse, and I don't have any money to buy another one, I need to fix this a soon is possible, and if I can without a mechanic ( $$$$).
 
Thank you very much for your atention.
Fernando
