1999 Chevrolet Express - Page 5 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Sometimes it may take a while.Make sure he is keeping pressure on the pedal while u are loosining the bleeder screw.U can loosen all and let gravity take over for a while but it takes some time.

Inside the van, all the way to the rear, on the side, will have a nice looking panel over it, remove panel and you'll see blower motor, held on with about 6 small screw's.

q is the pump running fuel pumps in that era had pin pressure problems at connection if its running then filter or regulator if not then ya got other things to look at.

I have the same problem on my 2000 chevy crew cab dually keep searching and searching the internet but no one has a cure for this problem. I found it !!!! It is the stupid little black box under the ignition where you put the key in. I tapped it with the screwdriver and the effects kept reversing......light and fan off, then on.....each time I hit it. At least I found the problem area !!!! If you have any questions feel free to email me. chevy[email protected]

could be a bad wheel sensor

I found the firing order and a picture of the engine. Hope this helps.

You will find the 02 sensors on the exhaust manifold. Rather a nightmare to replace!

Yes you should be able to replace the coil yourself.Just remove the engine cover.Disconnect the electrical connectors from the coil.There are only 2 10mm bolts that hold the bracket down.The ignition control module is also on this bracket.Just drill out the rivets from the coil and install the new one.The new coil will have bolts instead of rivets.Remove the coil wire from the old coil.Make sure and add die electric grease to the coil wire.It will be included with the coil.Hope this helps.Good luck.

Probably a 3 out of 5 on my diy difficulty scale, here goes: 1 remove negative battery cable 2 raise and support the van on jack stands 3 remove the motor mount bolts from both sides( do not worry the engine will not fall on you) 4 remove the oil pan retaining bolts 5 unplug oil level sensor if equipped 6 bump oil pan with a RUBBER mallet to break the gasket seal 7 remove oil pan, you might have to raise the engine with a jack placed under the front pulley, use a block of wood to avoid marring the pulley, and raise the engine just enough to allow the oil pan to slip out. 8 remove the oil pump retaining bolt and allow the pump to come straight down. 9 you will have to re use the intermediate shaft, the collar that holds it on will most likely break when you try to remove it, you can get a new one, it will probably come with the new oil pump. You can reuse the oil pump pickup tube, but it is cheap insurance to replace it. reassemble in reverse order, pay attention to the oil pan gasket, be careful and get the corners in correctly, extra time spent here will prevent a leak later.

you should have the ignition module tested most auto parts stores can do this it is a common problem

your catalytic converter is beginning to plug up in the exhaust system,also this has richened the fuel mixture and ruined the 02 sensor,you can replace these,but then you need to be able to clear the engine fault codes so it doesnt do this again,and you will probably need to go to a dealer for this process after you replace the above mentioned components

your plug wires are wore out!! you just need to do a good tuneup!! wires get weak and moiture in the air causes them to arch out in damp weather

Chances are the door latch has closed without the door being closed.

Inspect the latch mechanism on the door. I suspect you will find that the latch is in the closed position.

Use a screw driver to take place of the normal jam pin in the latch apply tension ( like the tension that would be present normally opening the door) and actuate the door handle.

Make sure to lubricate once you do get the latch to open.

Under the vehicle, driver's side, forward of the fuel tank, mounted to the chassis in the fuel line. It will be a small canister about 3" long and about an 2" in diameter. Remember which end of the filter is pointing forward, I have seen some replacement filters lately with no mark for orientation.

Your easiest solution would be to pick up a new socket and some blue heat shrinkable **** connectors and then replace the whole thing,just cut and join one wire at a time and you will be fine.

Take the hinges off with the door while getting your new door.

It is on the bottom of the washer bottle.It come out the top.If you can get to the connector.Remove it and have someone push the wash switch.Hook up a test light to a good ground and check for power at the A terminal.This is a red wire.If the light comes on the the pump is bad.To replace it you have to remove the master cylinder.Do not disconnect the pipes.Just remove the 2 bolts and set it aside.Then remove the washer bottle.Disconnect the hose and remove and replace the pump.It is easier when the bottle is empty or very low.Hope this helps.Good luck.

this year of chevy vvan has problems with the brake light bulb sockets, they can be replaced, contact the dealer for the parts replacements, make sure u have good skills at splicing wires, as the new sockets must be spliced into the wiring harness, do one wire at a time, DO NOT CUT ALL THE WIRES AT ONCE.
