Got fire but wont stay running without starter
You may have a dirty Fuel filter or a bad fuel pump and will need to be replaced. Start with the fuel filter first since it's the easier one to replace and if you can get and fuel pressure regulator, check the fuel pressure at the shredder valve to make sure the fuel pump is pushing enough pressure. Not sure which engine code you have, X should have 42-45psi and the W should have 62-65psi. Good luck and hope this helps.
Fuel system
check lines maybe rusted through and leaking should smell gas if not check fuel pump probably in fuel tank which means you'll need some new straps when u drop the tank
Fuel system has no pressure
most likely the electric fuel pump is defective, it is located inside the fuel tank. u will have to pull the fuel pump to repair/replace this pump.

It sounds like the fusible link,or links have burned into.They are located on the starter itself.They look like a wire,and are bolted on with the positive cable on the starter.To check them,just pull on them ,and they will pull apart like taffy.These are easy to replace,be sure to disconnect the neative cable first.You can purchase these fusible links at a auto parts store.NAPA carys them,i know.They are not expensive either.Do not use regular common everyday wire.You will burn the van down to the ground if there is a short.When you install these,and connect the battery back up look at the fusible link,or links to see that they are not burning back up.Besides a short,these fusible links go out do to hard starts(holding the key to start at low battery voltage.After you replace these links,check or have the battery checked,and the alternator,to see if it is charging enough.If I can help,let me know,this should be the only reason for this to have happened.
MY 95 ASTRO VANS BLOWER MOTOR SWITCH DOESN'T WORK
you have a bad blower relay or power going to the relay. The blower relay is located to the right by the motor mounted on the firewall. It will have three larger wires from the relay and two smaller wires. you will need to unplug the connector and check the red wire for +12 volts. If it has voltage then replace relay. if connector looks melted or burnt change connector and relay together.

check the fuel pressure(min of 45psi)under the hood at the port. if thats ok, check for intermitten spark(esc)electronic spark control may be getting hot and missing a beat....if thats ok then check the MAF sensormalfunction, but you should have a code for all but fuel pressure.good luck
