As for everything that I was fooling with....Yes, I made sure all that I took off was replaced properly, but I am going to recheck all nuts and bolts that I R/R because it is possible that I missed something.
Thank You for your input.

I'l leave out the last three weeks of usless words and state the facts. My 2005 astro van died one afternoon. The starter made a fast clicking sound (I'm thinking low voltage or bad solenoid) so I got a second battery and connected them in parallel and still nothing, not even the clicking sound from...

OK, I finally fot around to working on the van. I replaced was the O2 sensor, it was literally broken in half. Part dangling and the other still screwed in. I changed the distributor cap, rotor, and the module. Buttoned it all up and ......no start. I decided to look at a plug and it was all black i...

Thanks Captn, I attempted to start it again just a little while ago so I don't believe temperature is the problem. I do not have a fuel pressure gage but I will try to find one and check it. I do have a plug wire tester and I'll be on it this afternoon and I will certainly post the outcome in case o...

I was driving my 1987 Astro and it just died so I went to get my trailer and took it home. The next day I went out and just checked to see if it would start and it started fine and I ran it several times and drove it around my property for about a month. My thoughts were a clogged fuel filter or bad...

I want to do away with the dual key set up of my 1987 Astro and get all new cylinders for the dual sided single key like my 2005 Astro. I also want to have bots vans keyed alike. Has anyone ever done this and posted progress information and photo's of how to do it. I talked with a local lo9cksmith a...

LAZ, I live about 40 miles from the Provan factory (THE Tiger Motorhome Builders). I had the opportunity to drive one( CX the Truck Version) across the states back in 2004. I took the factory demo and made "Housecalls" to a lot of people who wanted to see one and seemed to be interested in...

I am considering converting my 1987 Astro from Computer to a carburetor. I Has anyone here ever done this and if so can you direct me to the link with the information on how to do it or even the discussions of pro's and con's.
Thank You!

Well, Here I am again with an update. Today I flushed the system with clean brake fluid. I got out all the fluid from the plastic reservoir with a small dipper. I then used a rag to clean the inside of the reservoir and got all the little gummed up corners, and crevices. It was as clean as I could g...

Great idea! I will get my wife out in the shop with me and try that tomorrow. I told a local 30 year Chevy dealer mechanic about my problem and he immediately said that both brake lines and calipers needed replacing because the lines probably have collapsed inside. If I do the test and see the spray...
