I came up to your video as I am looking for misfire on cylinder 4. Swaped spark plugs fron 2 to 4 but no change. Still missfire on 4. Going to swap wires next . Thank you for the video, it will be very helpful. Hoping its something simple, was also told it may be the intake manifold gasket..hope not.
Could have something to do with the spider injection system - Intake manifold gasket will be something you can't miss, look for the fouled plug and coolant in the oil as well as oil leaking on the engine. Plenty of videos out there on diagnosing specific misfires
Just liked your Astro Van page on FB. Years ago I wanted to get an Astro Van to tinker around with, but then got into wanting a VW Bus. Those things are real expensive. So I am back to thinking of and saving for an Astro Van. I enjoy your videos.
Michael, I am 6'2" and I know the Astro Van will be tight for me. However, I only looked at a 1995 years ago and was basing everything on that. With the later Astros I just might have a little more room to work with. I'm stoked on this.
Man I was getting frustrated trying to put this contraption back together. Was about to throw it all in the trash and pick up a gas mask from the Army Surplus store to wear while driving. Thanks for the walk through. 😷🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
liked video but was blocked by your back to camera of seeing the heat duck re in stalled but keep up great work vids on astro and safari i have two vans both 2003 one a two wheel drive astro and a gmc safari Awd model loving the vans i used to have vw camper vans 3 all campers did not know about these astros and safaris back in the day early 90 s thanks clay
hey thanks for doing this... the doghouse is the one thing people fear more than opening the hood !!! hahahahaha.. doing in real time was great.... even popping that glove box was cool it is going to help me with running wires for stereo and back up cam.....do you ever have meet ups with astro people? camp , hangouts, beach or mountain days? i think you are in so cal area right?
I watched this again today when I shared it in a FB group, I'm actually embarrassed at how much I'm rambling - I could do this and make it more to the point in probably under 10 minutes :) I do plan to get some meet-ups and rides/camp outs, it's coming
Hey....I've been a lurker of yours for the year I have had my safari. I am ready to sell and knew you had a group of astro loyalists that I'm wondering if you might post an add for me?? I'm in Sacramento and don't do social media at all but I am going to sell my 2000 gmc safari, awd, that has 210,000 on odometer.....I love my baby and would prefer someone who is going to actually appreciate the potential she has rather then some random stranger on cl. Anyways figured it couldn't hurt to ask if you have suggestions or know of someone who is looking. Ok well thanks for any info/help.
Email me with images including pictures of the chassis - write it up like an add and mention any work done and issues - I'll get back to you: mike@mikezdesign.com

Had one time plug wire was touching dog house cover and shorting out to foil cover on the back side. Look on backside of cover for evidence of arcing.

I did a comparison video to a '71 VW Bus, check that out...

Your advice is helpful.
