This could be an example of a broken baffle (the plates inside the gas tank that help reduce the fuel from sloshing around) when your turning the fuel is probably going away from the pickup thats attached to your fuel pump, causing it to **** air instead. drain your tank, remove it from the car and shake it to see if you hear rattleing (a good one should not make any noise) but if its not broken, you can either replace your gas tank with a better one, or keep it more than halfway filled. (this is probably going to be a large gas tank so if you have any doubts that you can do it yourself then please take it to a professional garage, no need to be crushed or hurt by your own car)

Hope this helps!

it could be a clogged inline fuel filter , thier under neath the Van just past the gas tank

Check for broken timing belt. Put a screew into spark plug head put the other end close but not touching to a metal engine part. have some one check for spark while you turn over engine. if thei is no spark check with distributor cap off if the rotor rotates when engine is being tuned over. if not then check timing chain. Good luck.

check to see if it`s getting gas

If everything is correct in the drive line end and the wheels are balance, the problem could be the drive shaft is out of balance or not in the pinion seated all the down causing an imbalance / vibration condition.

If the driveshaft was properly assembled you will have to find a driveline shop to check the balance of the drive shaft.

probably not shifting correctly

If you have the correct belt from the dealer they do have diagrams which they can print out for you. I can tell you everything that runs off this belt goes clockwise and that can help you somewhat

there is a button next to the headlight switch. press it once. that should do it

you could have a bad thermostat.

was there a spacer with the old unit, were the rod lenghts the same as the old, just some things to check, some even have an adjustable rod, it only takes a fraction of an inch to throw everything off

Be sure your vin is "W".

You're probably just low on coolant, but have the thermostat replaced, too.

The first thing you should check is the ground. In the rear ov the vehicle on the left side of the back door you should see a ground wire connected by a green screw. (it may be a grey screw). let me know what you find.

suspect the switch in the door.the 'polarity' is reversed to turn motor direction for 'up' or'' down' if you have power down,it's not being reversed by the switch.

Crankshft sensor circuit out of range,Most likely,in this case,the crankshaft sensor is bad.Reoplace it and be on your way.

1st ensure the fuses are all good and there is fuel in the vehicle and your not getting a false reading by tapping on the tank ..does it sound Hollow oe Empty / another way is turn on the key and listen for the pump to work a slight humming should be heard ...if so locate the fuel bar and cap screw depress the valve shielding your eyes with say a towell and see if gas dispurses make sure the key is on while doing this if no gas is there or fuel pump is heard then it may be either a bad ground to the unit or the fuel pump itself corroded connections will contribute to this as well unclipping and reclipping the connection togeather should allow a better connection

check you oil level

likely oil pressure sending unit went out
