#1 of 76 2000 Chevrolet Venture won't start...tried by busdriverjk Aug 18, 2006 (6:44 am)
Our 2000 Venture died yesterday. I tried to start it, it clicked and made a funny noise in the dash area. So, we replaced the battery and it started right up. Left it sit in garage overnight. Started it this morning. Left it sit about 10 minutes and tried to start it again and nothing started! Only that funny noise up in the dash area. Not a clicking. Something sounding like it was running...can't explain noise. Any ideas where to go from here?? Thanks so much. busdriverjkyahoo.com

#3 of 76 2000 venture STILL won't start after we put a new by busdriverjk Aug 18, 2006 (5:30 pm)
battery in it. It started this am after sitting overnight...but, then it wouldn't start up again about 10 minutes later. We jumped it and it started and ran it out on the hiway...then came home and it died. Now it won't start again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all       2000 Venture V/6 120,000 miles , bought used, ran great for year , now suddenly won't turn over . New battery, ignition checks out , daytime running lights even go off when key turned to start like they're supposed to Red light is on the radio which hints of security issues Engine starts immediately when relay "jumped" ,runs for two seconds and dies.All dash lights gages and power accessaries working. Replaced starter and fuel pump relays just in case . Have normal wiring diagrams but dealer won't release any info to bypass the security curcuits.  (can't really blame them) Don't really want to tow van to the dealer, when I have my own shop and tools to do the work, I'm a marine mechanic.   Hoping someone out there has had similar problem and has some info to get this van back on the road.   Thanks Rod rod_mcisaacsympatico.ca Replies to this message: tiredoproblems (Oct 07, 2007 8:36 am)
#5 of 76 Venture Died by ginamarie34197 Feb 25, 2007 (9:23 pm)
I have a 1999 Venture. I just got back from a 600mile trip. It ran fine. Now within a week of being back it was bucking at first. We started it up and it made it about 200ft then died again. We thought maybe it was empty since the fuel guage doesnt work so we added about 10 gallons to it and it still wont turn over. Trying to start it but it wont turn over any suggestions would be great.
#6 of 76 2000 Chevy Venture Stalling by kpoutin29 Apr 15, 2007 (2:22 pm)
I have a 2000 Chevy Venture with 155,000 miles. Within the past two weeks, when I come to a stop, the van will die. I usually can restart it. Last week, it started making a loud noise every time I put on the gas, and it would die when I would come to a stop. It died on me about 5 times a few days ago, and the noise is getting louder. It also looks like the one fan in the front is not working. It you have any advice, please let me know. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me.

#8 of 76 2000 Venture rough Idle by gregearn Dec 10, 2007 (7:51 am)
When i turn my HVAC fan switch on I hear a loud ticking coming from the engine and it starts to run rough. When I turn the fan off the rough idle disappears. Also the #5 setting on my fan switch only works sometimes and the backlighting flickers. Any solutions?

Replying to: gregearn (Dec 10, 2007 7:51 am) Are you running your AC when you hear the ticking? Could the loud ticking be your compressor going bad? You could check by putting your hand on it and seeing if you feel vibrations at the same rate as the click... I've also heard a similar sound when the belt tensioner goes bad and doesn't keep enough tension on the belt so when you put additional load on it by turning on the AC, it flops around and makes a clicking or thumping sound. Look at it while its running and see if its slapping around. Rough idle could also be Idle Air control valve (IAC) going bad (it controls your idle speed) or a host of other things...hard to diagnose without some more info   As for the #5 fan setting - I think its a separate issue - blower resistor going bad perhaps - cheap part about $ 20, its located behind the blower on the passenger side front. Easy repair, very common failure on the Venture. The flickering seems to be common on the Venture and usually is cured by a new alternator - it probably flickers more because the fan running on high speed is a pretty big electrical draw.   Just some things to check right off the bat - post more details and hopefully I can help you further.   John Replies to this message: gregearn (Dec 10, 2007 11:08 am) 442dude (Dec 10, 2007 11:38 am) gregearn (Dec 10, 2007 2:28 pm)

Replying to: 442dude (Dec 10, 2007 10:25 am) Thanks John Actually my AC is already shot. We just don't turn it on.Compressor clicking when we turn the ac button on. I have not decided if I want to spend that much money yet. The sound I am hearing when I turn the fan on is coming from the engine itself. Is there a vacuum line connected to the HVAC that could be causing this? Replies to this message: 442dude (Dec 10, 2007 11:38 am) gregearn (Dec 10, 2007 2:28 pm)
