#16 of 21 Re: HELP! No oil pressure, starts and cuts off [ancobaca] by 442dude Mar 17, 2008 (6:20 pm)
Replying to: ancobaca (Mar 16, 2008 4:08 am) I wouldn't be afraid to spend $ 800 on it - ours is a 2000 and we still like it alot...for all of their faults these Ventures are pretty good vans - think about it...800 is 3 months worth of payments on a new one if you're lucky...and yes...labor charges are always brutal on these things because of the way they shoe horned the motor under the hood.   All cars break sooner or later - sure sounds like its an oil pump issue, I can't think of another reason for your issue that you haven't already checked - I've heard of a couple in the 60 degree V6 motors, yours wouldn't be the first...anything can break on any car...   Find a good mechanic that's willing to do what it takes to fix it and get it done...if you can't, maybe you can find one that would put a used or rebuilt motor in it...sure it will be more expensive than the oil pump fix but you'll be good for a long time...just an idea....Good Luck

Replying to: 442dude (Mar 10, 2008 4:48 pm) Did you replace the thermostat yourself or a garage? Replies to this message: 442dude (Apr 21, 2008 5:04 am)

Replying to: fknstr (Apr 18, 2008 1:37 pm) I was going to do it myself but the car was in for an oil change and I've been real busy at work so I let them do it....   In hindsight, I should have done it myself and saved some $ but unfortunately there are only so many hours in a day and most of mine were taken up....   Its not a bad job...just takes a little patience....
#19 of 21 2003 Venture Won't Crank after running awhile by vicars May 05, 2008 (6:34 am)
We have a 2003 Venture. If we are on a trip and stop for gas or food (running 30 min or so), it will not crank back up. After cooling off, the van will crank like nothing is wrong and runs good after that.   We have replace the cam shaft and crank shaft sensors with no results.   Does anyone else have this problem????
#20 of 21 Oil pressure light and lack of power by davis911s Dec 09, 2008 (1:35 pm)
Ok here is my situation   1998 Chev Venture 160,000 km   The other night we had a big snowfall (not sure if that matters) I drove home in this and parked the car out front of my house. No problems.   The next morning I go to start the van, startss running real rough, the check engine light flashes and the oil PRESSURE light comes on. I drive it back to my house (about 200 feet) and the bus idles real bad for about 30 seconds then dies. Oil level is good.   I started the van this morning and drove it around back and into my garage, ran like HELL and lights still on. I know it wasn't the best to drive it but I need it in my garage not on the street.   It sounds like an oil pump but man there was no warning, do pumps just GO or do they usually give a warning?   How can I test the pump? Is there anything electrical that it can be? I awas thinking something got disconnected or wet or something during the drive in the snow?? Sounds unlikely but one never knows   What about the timing belt? I have never changed that, if it jumped timimg would it cause these symptoms?   Thanks I will run a scan on it tonight and let you know the results.   Shawn
