I am working on A Chevy Astro, all wheel drive W/the big V-6.
I dropped the tank. I have 10.50V going to it.
The underside is clean as A whistle.
There wasn't even any dirt on top the fuel tank.
It's A 94 bye the way.
I have been rolling in the dirt trying to find A broken wire.
I borrowed A different relay. No luck.
What if I were to run A jumper off the relay to the fuel pump?
I mean to the power wire under the van not to the pump so to say.
I can make it claen. Whould it work?
This is fuel spray carburated, not fuel rail.
Any suggestion's to ease my pain?
Everthing is so tight.
I did test the fuel pump, it work's.
Ya ever have one of those day's when you thought you should have been A lawyer?
You could get, be dirty, and still come out smellin like A rose?
Any ideas people?!?!?

This is a terrible poem.

Sounds be the pump its self, just a thought have you checked the filter. My dad had a 1997 astro. We ended up putting three pumps in that beast. Sill got 380,000 out of the motor before he sold it. General Motors just sucks when it comes to electronics. Go to auto zone and get one with the life time warranty. It will pay for its self in the long run. good luck

I tested the pump, it work's though. Not the pump.

Fuel pressure regulator. It's a 4.3 v-6?

What year is your van? I got a 95 Astro (that i hardly ever use now) and the damn thing gave up 3 years ago, cost me 500 bucks and it was the fuel pump and sender unit.

LOL...wasn't expecting that

astros r known for fuel and emmision problems. if u removed the breather check the trottle botty wires where they come in and where they actually connect. in theory u shouldnt need to replace the fuel filter but i would as good practice. and finally always use ac delco parts on gm. Always.

also i forgot. u can run a wire to the pump if u know for sure all is well and it will work. but remimber if u sell it like that beware of how much u sell it for in ur state due to lemon laws.

yep..but also, Astros also notorious for ball joint problems, loose steering and getting out of alignment like in a year.

The pump may be putting out flow but not enough pressure.

Also the pump is controlled by the ECU so you may have a bad computer.

looooool ya me too

Pressure regulator could be bad... or

Plugged filter...

Low fuel pressure...

Injectors firing???

Will it run if you spray brake cleaner in throttle body???

Bad ground to pump???

High resistance in pump power wire???

Im assuming you have spark and compression....

Well let me tell you what Einstein here did...
Bad fuel pump, 96 Silverado... replaced fuel pump, still a no go, next step, fuel pressure regulator. Removed upper intake, replaced regulator (failing to properly seat the regulator) still a no go. Drop fuel tank once again... the parts place had given me the wrong pump. This is a 96, the first year with the high volume pump. This thing normally produces about 50 psi loaded.

Well, with a misplaced regulator, it flooded the cylinders, so in my brilliance, i removed all the spark plugs, and decided to "spin out" the fuel. Which would have been a fantastic idea..except for the eight plug wires from an 80,000 volt HEI.

I suppose you can gather what happened when i hit the ignition. That's right, it blew up. Amazingly, after replacing the regulator again, and draining the oil (because there was at least a gallon of gasoline in there) 243,00 miles on this v8. believe it or not..it runs.

I was talking with a friend, and i told him, only by the grace of God... (and God looked down and said) "look at that fool down there working on that truck...i better step in and help him before he kills his fool self" lol, well...

Had to share that.. anyway, if you're getting gas to the carb, and you know it's firing, then there are only a couple of possibilities. One, is that it has severely jumped time, or two, you have a stopped up catalytic converter. I doubt that. You may have a bad fuel pump, From what you posted, i'm guessing this is actually a throttle body. Will it attempt to crank, if you pour fuel directly into the throttle body?

Check the safety switch. It's meant to shut the pump off in case of a collision. It's usually mounted in the rear on the drivers side. You'll have to pull back the panel to get to it. Just push the button.
I've had this problem before. It tripped just from me shutting the trunk lid in anger. Same as you, I dropped the tank etc. Then my brother came over and reset the switch. LOL
I felt so stupid it wasn't funny. I had spent days trying to fix it.

sorry. don't mind me

I'm just laughing cause someone actually drives a Chevy Astro

He's not driving it.

Right now it's just a lawn decoration.
