My 94 Astro won't start-please help! by weedragonz

I just had a tune-up on it a few weeks before and it didn't feel right before or after-- although it did feel different after. One day it just wouldn't start. Sounds like normal-just doesn't start. I can't do much by myself on it (I'm a girl who can't take the heat here in Florida!) Does anyone think it might just be something loose or is it likely more serious? (has 140k miles on it, and it is my 2nd Astro in 10 years!)

I just installed a new fuel pump and spark modulator but my 97 Safari still won't start, I am also not getting any power to the fuel pump relay and no spark to the spark modulator and no spark to the distributor. Any suggestions?

Just quickly looking at the electrical schematics. Start by checking all the fuses in the underhood dist. box. It appears the electrical all goes through the ECM. I will keep looking though to narrow it down.

Electrical issue: by 97gmcsafari

I went to start my '97 GMC Safari Van tonight... NOTHING. Charged the battery, hooked it back up, and all my outside lights (parking & headlights) are on and the buzzer is making noise inside, but THE LIGHT SWITCH IS OFF. If I turn the dimmer switch all the way down, the buzzer goes away but the lights are still on everywhere inside & out. Something TOTALLY drained my battery last night, not sure what went wrong, everything was working fine until now. WHAT COULD THE CAUSES BE??? Thanks in advance! Henry

97gmcsafari, you might want to post your question in the Electronic Gremlins: Electrical Problems that are driving you crazy discussion, to see if the folks there have the answer.

Safari will not always start by gaulais

When my 2Safari 2000 90K miles do not want to start, I then disconnect the Air Flow Meter electrical connection, and after that it will fire up like a new one. I recconect the module after and here I go. Oops not really. When I'm drivig at any speed, sometime put not always, the engine will shut down for a fraction of a second and restart. The fuel pump look ok to me + the air filter is new...
And since yesterday it sometime stall when I stop at a light or at a stop sign.
 
My dealer does not have a clue on what going on since the computer does not give any code or light and because the problems occurs"> accasionnaly.
 
Any body can help ? Thank

My mechanic told me that fuel pump malfunction would not register a code. When My '98's fuel pump failed just barely out of warranty, it stalled intermittently like yours. You can try knocking on the side of the fuel tank with a mallet next time it stalls. If it starts again, you can zero in on the fuel pump and do more testing. BTW, a plugged fuel filter will have similar symptom too.
