Its probably the vaccum line. Check again. There is a small thin one that crosses over the top of the engine and fails/leakes/cracks in the area where it is hard to see. Repalcing the vaccum lines for $10 is the place to start. Then see what happens. While the engine cover is off, go ahead and change the PCV valve and give the engine a quick check for any other loose connections or issues.

I just read an answer post you had made in response to a question about a 2003 Chevy Astro van vacuum line keeping the vents from switching from defrost to floor, to dash vents, etc., you mentioned...

I didn't initially answer your question, or even read it but I know what you are talking about. The source vacuum to the HVAC system inside the van. It attaches to a vacuum port on the left side of the engine just above valve cover attached to a bracket. They are very brittle plastic and break easily. I found it better to replace the vacuum line with small rubber line, such as washer fluid hose. Its easier to route and can be installed without bending plastic. Feed it from the left side vacuum "T" above the left valve cover, over to the heater valve on the right side in heater hose split. Its the source vacuum to inside, and if lost it defaults to the defrost mode and won't change modes.

My front door will not close because latch has locked in place, help 1999 Chevy astro van

You should be able to open it with a large screw driver. Simply put the screw driver in the hole where the latch would go and pull the handle to open the door. With the handle in the open position pull the screw driver toward the inside of the van and the latch should open right up. Then close the door. Hope this helps.

1999 Chevy Astro Van. Don't know exact model # of

You should have a 4l60E in your astro van. Which is electrically controlled, so no vacuum modulator. However, to address the ventilation selector not working... look for a vacuum line exiting the firewall and going to the passenger rear of the intake manifold. You will likely find it broken or disconnected there.
