Replying to: jateegee (Apr 11, 2007 5:36 pm) I have same problem with stalling with my safari 93 code Z. I got a trouble code 53 low fuel pump voltage. I have no problem with starting, it stall when I take my foot off the gas peddle. It run rough. Can anyone help? I change fuel filter, fuel pump relay, spark plugs, ignition cable, distributor caps and rotor. It will run if I keep my foot on the gas peddle.

Replying to: lightning5 (Jul 08, 2007 6:31 am) I have same problem with stalling with my 92 Astro code Z but I did not get a check engine light. The symptoms started with stalling when you would shift it in gear and two months later the car would slightly rough idled when the car stared but when the car engine go up to temperature the van would completely stall out. You would have to pump the gas to keep it going.   I started by replacing spark plugs, leads, distributor cap, rotor, ... but none of it made a difference.   What I had over looked was that the vacuum elbow that connects to the carburetor and goes to the PCV value was cracked. When I went to check all of the vacuum connections it crumbled. Old Car!   So I bought some tube and replaced the elbow and the tube connection to the PCV value just to be complete.   The van runs great now!
#58 of 155 Wont Start. No Spark at Coil by mechone Jul 17, 2007 (5:08 pm)
I have a 2000 GMC Safari van. Today my van died on me while idling on a encline driveway for about 3 mins. My van will crank all day but wont start. I have checked the coil and not getting any spark from it. I swapped it with a known good one off my other old van and I still have the same problem. I even swapped the ignition control module. Still no spark.   Is there a fuse that would control this?   Does the coil and control module have to be mounted for a good ground to work?   I check for a spark by unplugging the spark plug wire from the distrubitor and holding near the manifold and cranking the engine.   Where else should I check?

Replying to: mbeach (Feb 26, 2007 4:04 pm) I have an 96 Safari van that it started and then quit. It was the ignition coil that was replaced. If you do it yourself it is under $100. If you have a Tuffy's near buy they will check it for free.

Replying to: xtremlyfrust8 (Nov 11, 2006 2:30 pm) I would have the ingition coil check. Also, check your fueld injector system. Take to a Tuffy's if you have one they will check for free.

Replying to: houseape (Feb 28, 2007 8:34 am) It could be the ignition coil.

Replying to: jun123 (Nov 13, 2006 4:53 pm) You could have a small hole in a hose somewhere. If it is going down then it is in the front.
