Does it have spark? If not, likely the ignition control module.

Yes, try ether. If still no combustion, consider timing chain/belt.

The troubleshooting charts for your ignition system are copyrighted and I cannot post them here. You can have access to them by subscribing to alldatadiy.com fo a small fee.

The MOST LIKELY cause of your problem is a failed distributor module. (inside the distributor) The symptoms you described can also be caused by many other things like loose or corroded connectors or even a failed Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

1999 Chevy astro van won't start

Had the same issue with our 1999 chevy astro van, would crank but would not start. It had been raining and windshield had a leak, after 2 days of no rain it started. Pulled codes and was the Security system in the ignition switch. Hope this helps.

1996 Chevy Astro Van--"Will not

I would check the rotor very carefully. They tend to burn a hole through the plastic under the center tab. It's hard to see sometimes. The spark follows that path instead of to the wire terminals. You may just want to try a new distributor cap and rotor.

2000 astro van won't start

What you have to do is check and see if you have fuel pressure.You have to remove the engine cover to check it.If you don`t have a pressure tester then remove the air cleaner hose to the engine and spray it with carb.cleaner or brake cleaner.If it starts for a few seconds then it is more than likely a fuel pump.If it does not start then you have to check for spark at the spark plugs.Make sure you check more than one plug.If no spark then you have to check the distributor cap and rotor.Make sure the rotor is good and cap also.Things that can cause no spark are the ignition module,coil,and cap and rotor.Hope this helps.Good luck.

you might have water dripping on your distributor. Need to place palstice over ac line so the water drips away from distibutor. Then by new cap, rotor and distributor.
