#985 of 1889 Re: 94 GMC Safari will not start [stecam78] by mark60 Jul 26, 2005 (6:49 pm)
Replying to: stecam78 (Jul 23, 2005 11:11 pm) On my 92 had the same problem...........................here's what it was   one of the wires going to the drivers side injector inside the throttle body was rubbing the throttle body itself and had worn away the sheathing on that wire and was therefore grounding out and blowing the ECM fuse down on the fuse block by the drivers brake pedal.   Bet you a buck there's a good chance that's your problem   Mark 60 Replies to this message: vsatdude (Aug 09, 2005 8:30 pm) cob (Aug 10, 2005 8:18 am) dlabarge (Aug 20, 2005 7:07 pm)

#989 of 1889 1995 GMC Safari 4.3L 4L60-E VIN W by jdegenhart Jul 31, 2005 (1:50 pm)
Symptom = rough ide in park, terrible idle in gear. Very good engine performance as soon as it builds to about 2K RPM. Oil Pressure at idle is 30, 60 at 2K RPM.   Only Code 12 (of course) and 83 is thrown.   Would the bad TTC PWM Solenoid make the van run rough, or is their no relation between a bad idle and this solenoid??   Thanks, James Replies to this message: nextlevel (Jul 31, 2005 3:26 pm)

Replying to: jdegenhart (Jul 31, 2005 1:50 pm) Hello! I an new to the forum and I hope you guys can tell me where to get the info I need. I hate to butt in on the conversation but I was not sure where to start.   I have a 1987 astro van and the four bolts in the steering column that hold the tilt u-joint in place have worked loose. I was able to get to two of them but the other two seem to be impossible to reach. Any help with this?   Nextlevel
#991 of 1889 Differential Noise??? 94 Astro 130,000mi by brantley1 Aug 01, 2005 (11:44 am)
For years I've heard a noise from "below" when I make a turn at any speed. I've had several family members listen and I've had a professional mechanic listen. No one can pin point the noise without cracking into something down under. At first, I thought it was only my all terrain Michelin tires "roaring" as a turn was made. However my father thinks that it's something in the rear end. I looked at the differential (without taking it apart) and it was a little low on gear grease, but that problem was quickly solved and the noise is still there.   I tow a boat frequently, but it's well within my load range. I tow an even lighter utility trailer, but again well within my load range for that vehicle.   Possible differential gearing problems to take place? Or do I need to have it checked out NOW?   Otherwise it's been a very solid vehicle with no major problems. FYI
#993 of 1889 Motor mounts on a 95 astro by kelly13 Aug 02, 2005 (3:21 pm)
I have a 1995 astro with 160,000 miles. It vibrates when put into reverse from underneath driver and passanger side, sometimes worse than others, hot or cold. No tranny work done yet. When I put into reverse there is 3/8 to 1/2 inch movement on the motor mounts. It stops vibrating when put into park or drive. You guys think motor mounts or tranny?

Replying to: kelly13 (Aug 02, 2005 3:21 pm) I would say motor mounts are your problem. When you shift into reverse the motor is moving back against the body and sending the vibrations through the floor. When it is in drive it moves back away from the body. As long as you do not have the 4L60E trans which I believe was not used until 1996 you shouldn't have too many transmission problems.
