1995 Chevrolet Astro - Page 7 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Yes i have tried everything to get a 1995 chevy
if you don't know which is the compression stroke, there's an easy way, but it may require extra hands to help. remove the number 1 spark plug, put you finger over the spark plug hole to where it seals the hole. turn the crankshaft clockwise, on the intake stroke you'll feel piston sucking air in, pulling on your finger. then it should start blowing air out the plug hole, hard enough where its hard to keep your finger covering the hole. this is the compression stroke. when the piston gets to the top of this stroke, the rotor inside the distributor should be lined up (or at least very close) to the corresponding number 1 on the distributor cap. if its 180 degrees off, you'll have to pull distributor out and realign it.
Broken alternator mounts
you need to tighten alternator little bit on each screw till they both are tight,otherwise the plastic mounts will break one day,serpentine belt will come off,a mess! Pro One automotive in Whitehouse,Tx screwed me over that way,
Door handle
Once you've removed the door panel, you can see the 2 bolts holding it in place, also, there's a rod that goes to the actuator & that needs to be carefully removed.
The door panel has to be carefully removed by taking any trim pieces off first, remove any retaining screws, then it is carefully removed by inserting tools behind it to pry out on the retainers. Once the few screws are removed and the retainers are popped loose, you have to push upward to get the window edge at the top to clear it's mounting location & then it's removed.
I always recommend a manual with all of the pictures to give you exploded views of what you are taking apart. There are many manuals available at your local auto-parts store to give you specific instructions on removing these components.
You can find these replacement handles on eBay or at the dealer:

i dont know what that code is but i do know that those enigines have a bad problem with fuel leaks under the upper intake what happeins is the plastic type line that go to your injectors crack or just break and then they leak and then the van runs like poo. if you take the 30 min it take s to get the upper intake off to inspect the lines for leaks if there are broken line or bad o-rings you can buy that whole injector kit. its pretty simple. this is some thing that i would check. good luck.
My 95 Astro Van won't start, i think the fuel pump
this is what happens, somtimes you dont get a warning, and sometimes you do,hears a trick, have someone try to start the van while you beat on the bottom of feul tank see if it starts if so then replace the pump, many times the bad pump will start if itsw jared around enough to make contact, hope this is helpful.
I'm replacing the door handle on my 1999 Chev.
take the door card/trim off and put your hand inside and pull the cable or lift it at the back of the lock, you have not put it back correctly check the small bars are in the correct position. either way you will have to remove the door trim its an easy fix but can take a while depending on any lock covers or motors inside the door.
hope this helps

How do you change EGR valve?
Hi ,he easiest way to change it ..is to take your inner cover off your motor ....it's usually on the right hand side of your vehicle,on the passenger side ,behind the engine cover ...code in diagnostics,is P1406 ,you will need a few different size wrenches and possibly a good pair of vise grips ...i suggest spray it first with some penetrating oil spray it first ....good luck ..if you need any more help ...feel free to ask....bye for now Joe
Low beam doesnt work nogo aftr replacement
check the plug on back of headlight and make shure one of the pins did not push out of plug, and if not then clean the contacts in the plug, or possably you have a nother bad headlight
All wheel drive transmission
if it is a 4l60e transmission its all electronic and it has solinoids to do the shifting it sounds like the drive or overdrive solinoid is not working
Been running fine, started to cut out at the
Spray some starting fluid in the intake with the throttle cable/pedal pushed down.
If it starts then your problem is with fuel delivery, check all fuel related fuses and relays. If good, change the fuel filter. Still no luck change the pump.
If no start then your problem is most likely spark related. Make sure you have spark at the plugs, then wires, then coil/distributor.
If you still don't have any luck take it to a shop.
