i found the problem the timing is way off thhink that it is 180 degrees out i turned the dis. to the right it started to want to fire but did not start. very good spark from coil

no the "w" started in 1992 as a option. also how long is the oil dipstick suppose to be cause i think the one it has is too long and is messed up i fould it in the back seat so i don't know if it goes to the van and tommorow i will check for spark.

well i have not exactly check the spark because i don't think that it is getting spark cause i dump some gas into the intake and it had plenty of gas it still did not fire at all.

ok here is an update i moved out of my mom house back in june and she took my 1992 astro from me cause it was still in her name and she got pissed at me for moving out so i got a new astro van it is a 1993 astro with the cpi fuel injection i bought it for $50 it is real nice it suppose to run and dr...

here is another update: i have not done much but spend more time with it i noticed that sometimes when i floor it it will boog down and after a couple seconds it will go fine it sounds like it gets plenty of air but not enogh fuel like the tps is not telling the computer to add more fuel i think tha...

i second the air filter mod. my van is TBI with the round air filter housing what i did was get a k n stock replacement air filter and fliped my air cleaner lid and what a difference it made i love the air sucking noise and the extra power i feel in the upper rpms like above 3,000 rpms it feels stro...

okay update: still have rough/low idle at stop lights, but i been pay more attenion to it lately and i have noticed that when cold i have lots of power but when warmed up it feels sluggest and when on the highway and i floor it i smeell a strong sulfur smell.

dude man you did great i just did this water pump change on my 1992 astro with 180,000 miles about a month ago!! but before that i did one a 89 chevy trcuk so i knew what to do except one thing getting the top fan shroud off cause i have my a/c line running across it but it is mangeable. i also repl...

i also replaced the map sensor still no change

i would just rebuild the top end which is replace the head gaskets and intake gasket. also while it is apart you could replace the valve guide seals and water pump and hoses. these vans go to 300,000 miles or more so it is worth it.!!

yes this is still a problem but i am gonna check a couple of things like ignition timing, map sensor, o2 sensor, and something else.

pooping

well i had to replace my water pump on my 1992 astro it sucked!! but it is done and no leaks!! i woke up to go start the van and i found a puddle of coolant under my van it did not overheat so i was like what! okay so i checked everything and i saw coolant dripping from the water pump weep hole i wa...

i am having a issue with my shift indicater in my 1992 astro with analog gauges okay here is the issue the indicater is stuck in P but i can still shift it into d or what ever gear i want and the transmission will do what i want but the indicater won't move.??

here is more info. when i slowly brake to a stop there is no knock when i push the gas very little i feel the trans and engine shift back it then sounds like a knock also if i brake fast i feel the same thing but it feels like it shifts forward. weird.
