It sounds like there is a short somewhere. One of the wires going to your relay is touching bare metal somewhere, causing it to overheat, but not enough to make it stop working.

if it is getting fuel then there is no problem with pump relay or switch, check for spark. if no spark it is ether the crank sensor or the coil pack.

1995 astro van stalls when given gas. Any solutions? I have replaced the fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel injectors and am working on checking the fuel lines right now to check for a pinch or clogg. Any other...

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

Cranks but no start

There is no fuel reset button on this van.

To test the circuit before removing the tank, you will need a voltmeter or cheap test light. Disconnect the connector at the fuel tank. On the harness side, locate the gray wire (fuel pump wire). Connect the test light to a good ground. Have a helper crank the engine over. While engine is cranking, the gray wire should have power. If it does, and the pump is not turning on, then the pump must be bad and need replacing. If there is no power on the gray wire with engine cranking, the circuit is the problem, not the pump. Go back and find the fuel pump fuse in the junction block (the fuse relay block where the fuel pump relay is). Check the fuse, also check if there is power going to the fuse. This fuse should be hot at all times. The circuit goes from battery to pump fuse to fuel pump relay to gas tank and the fuel pump.
