#38 of 76 Engine turns over but won't start by gapcar Mar 17, 2008 (4:05 pm)
My 2000 Venture with about 111,000 miles has an intermitent starting problem.. It always starts fine when cold, but 3 times in the last 6 weeks it has failed to start when hot. So far the Firestone store said they "thought it might be" the crank position sensor. The water pump had leaked coolant on it so they figured that was the problem. I had them replace the water pump but not the sensor since neither the engine codes nor any other hard data supported the $250 cost. The second time it was towed to a Chev dealer who said the fuel pump was bad. They replaced the pump and fuel filter. I paid $1100 bucks that time and had 3 weeks trouble free driving before it died again. It has been towed to a local Chev dealer (different one than last time) and I am awaiting their diagnosis. This car has cost me over $4000 in the last 12 months! To make matters worse I have been reading about engine bearing problems! Any suggestions?

Replying to: gapcar (Mar 17, 2008 4:05 pm) Sounds like a crank position sensor failure - when they're on the way out they like to not work when they're hot - remember that they tell the injectors when to fire so if they aren't working the injectors don't fire..IIRC there are 2 of them on the Venture...once installed they have a learning procedure so you can't just swap & go...also, they don't always throw codes when they go bad so Firestone might just be right...good luck Replies to this message: towheelie (Oct 06, 2009 1:38 pm)

Replying to: gapcar (Mar 17, 2008 4:05 pm) there is a way to test the sensor but how ever there are two sensors first look at the motor and where the coils are on the back on the right side of the coils there should be two plugs you need the one on the backside color should be yellow and purple you test them with a ohm meter should be 14 to 15 ohms if not shure on color you might want to consider buying a haynes book on that model and it shows how to do it it is a good idea to have one of these manuals it helps alot they are only 14.00 at autozone i had one but i loaned it out .P.S my venture is awaighting a camshaft replacement it broke and now i have to take the motor out to replace that i am very upset with this modal of chevy van had chevys all my life i would never buy another venture, montana ,siloette i don't recomend anyone buying any i have one my buddy he had one and family has one we have all spent alot of money repairing them all the time i always did all the work on them all man you talk about a nightmare but however i will answer any repair questoins you have to throw at me i would check the ohms before having that repaired remember you have to have the van in the on position when checking the ohms not running though good luck anything else please ask signed fughunter
#41 of 76 Chevy Venture 2002 failure to start by dacul May 18, 2008 (7:29 am)
Hi, I have a Chevrolet Venture 2002 and I have a strange problem.   When I start up it works great but if the engine become hot if I shot off the engine and I try tot start again it didn't start at all. I have to wait to cool down the engine almost one hour and after that to try again. Everything works. I was to the mechanic I change the starter and the ignition relay but the problem is still come.   Do you have any idea? Any help will be great appreciated.

Replying to: dacul (May 18, 2008 7:29 am) Sounds like the crankshaft position sensor is failing...lots of them have failed, you wouldn't be the 1st or last.... Replies to this message: dacul (May 18, 2008 2:59 pm)

Replying to: 442dude (May 18, 2008 1:26 pm) Thanks I read on Internet about crank senzor. It seem this is the problem. All the symptoms are presents.   Thanks a lot.
#44 of 76 Chevy Venture 2002 don't start by dacul May 20, 2008 (7:40 am)
Ok, after I checked the CPS it seem it is not the problem. So.... My Chevy starts very well when is cold but it did not start when is hot. I mean I have no power for the starter so the engine did not turn so it is not the CPS the problem. I change the starter and ignition relay and I have no idea what could be the problem. All the display indicators seem to be O.K. No alarm.   Why I don't have power to the starter when the engine is hot? Its start right away when the engine is cold.   Thank you for yours answers.

Replying to: dacul (May 20, 2008 7:40 am) Just a thought. Check the under hood fuse box. There should be a relay for the ING or starter. These, I think, are the smaller relays and they go bad or weak. They are fairly cheep and just replace it anyway.   My fuel relay was this way. Hopefully this is it.

Replying to: chases (May 20, 2008 7:47 am) There are 3 reley, the same type, one for starter. I allready did this.   It could be just a wire but onestly I don't thing its a wire problem.
