MY VAN STARTS WHEN THE ENGINE IS COOL BUT AFTER IT WARMS UP AND I TURN OFF THE IGNITION IT DOES NOT RESTART UNTIL AFTER IT COOLS. IT ALSO HAS STALLED WHEN SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT

Check your fuel pump pressure after it dies, could be a fuel pump. Try hitting the gas tank sometimes it will make the pump start to work again. The fuel pumps are cooled by the fuel in the tank if you run your tank low alot it will overheat the pump and cause the pump to fail.

1999 Windstar will not start, any ideas?

The first and most common is to check the fuelpump, if you have a preasure gauge check the preasure while cranking the engine, you can also turn key on and listen for humming noise from tank to see if pump is working. ive found that if one person trys starting the van while at the same time you beat on botoom of the center of the gas tank this shakes the fuel pump and van starts this means the pump is bad, give it a try. must beat while someone is cranking. NOTE; use rubber hammer.

2001 Chevrolet Astro has service engine soon light

You have to have the code pulled to see what it is. This MAY help but you should also have the fuel pressure checked to see if you have a blockage usually when a pump goes out the vehicle won't start or may just idle.GOOD LUCK

My 95 Astro Van won't start, i think the fuel pump is the problem, since i don't hear a humming sound. Is there anything that could be causing the pump not to operate besides it the pump being no good?...

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.

93 astro van turns over has juice but wont fire

a real quick way to test your fuel pump is to take a rubber mallet and have some one crank the engine while you beat on the bottom of the gas tank if your vehicle starts you have a bad fuel pump and it should be removed and replaced with a new one,
