    unhooking the battery does not work according to plan. so i am seeking a different solution. i heard that a scanner would be appropriate to alleviate the issue but i would like to know if there is an easier... less expensive method.

Is the check engine light on? If it is you will need a code reader to plug into the OBDII port under the dash near the steering column. But that may not keep the light off. Your vehicle’s computer system has self-testing capability. When the computer senses that there is a problem with some of the components it stores the correspondent trouble code(s) in its memory and lights up the "Check Engine" or "Service Engine Soon" light to tell you that there is a problem and your car needs to be repaired. Hope this helps.

If there is an Autozone parts store in your area, they will be able to attach their computer to your Venture. They can not reset it for you but you can ask to push the reset button yourself. That is what they allowed me to do

Unhook the battery for about ten minutes or so... if you have an after market stereo that requires a code make sure you know it.

Why 2001 chevy venture van wont start in the cold.

Look at the ignition module or the computer. Taking off the battery cable resets the electronics. Have a diagnostic done on it to pinpoint the problem.

2001 Chevy Venture will not start. Turns over and tries to start

Spray "starting fluid" (AutoZone $4) into air intake. If it "starts better" then it is fuel-related. The gas in your tank may be contaminated. Whatever floated to the top is what is left in your tank. Add a gallon of new fuel, burn what you can and use a "complete fuel system cleaner" (AutoZone $9) when you fill-up.
