Your dip stick tube is your fill tube for your transmission . Make sure your transmission oil is at opperating temp before servicing some instructions are written on the dip stick , Use a small funnel , Add a little at a time (cup). Use the proper fluid , check regularly

SOURCE: 95 gmc safari replaced fuel filter van ran great now wont start

Since you replaced the distributor, are you sure it's properly timed? Hook up timing light and try to crank. It should show you where your timing mark is. It will also verify that you are getting spark.
You need to start a systematic check. Is it electrical, mechanical, fuel related? Need to do more checking and maybe we can get that puppy going.

Good Luck

SOURCE: I need to replace the fuel filter on my 2003 GMC

ITS A SPIN ON FILTER, YOU NEED TO DISCONNECT THE WATER SENSOR ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FILTER, THEN USING A STRAP FILTER WRENCH LOOSEN THE FILTER AND SPIN IT OFF.

CHECK THE FILTER HOUSING TO BE SURE THE INNER FILTER SEAL ISN'T ON THE HOUSING AND CAME OFF WITH THE FILTER.

REMOVE THE WATER LEVEL SENSOR AND DISCARD THE SEAL.

INSTALL THE WATER LEVEL SENSOR ON THE NEW FILTER. USING A LITTLE GREASE ON THE INNER FILTER SEAL AND ON THE OUTER O-RING TO HOLD IT IN PLACE, SPIN ON THE NEW FILTER.

OPEN THE VENT ON THE UPPER SIDE OF THE FILTER HOUSING. PUSH DOWN ON THE HAND PUMP QUICKLY UNTIL THE FUEL IS COMING OUT OF THE VENT. CLOSE THE VENT AND PUMP THE FILTER PUMP UNTIL IT FEELS SOLID. AT THIS POINT START THE ENGINE. IF IT STALLS PUMP IT UP AGAIN AND RESTART THE ENGINE. IF YOU HAVE AN ASSISTANT THEY CAN PUMP THE FILTER PUMP WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AND QUIT WHEN YOU FEEL THE ENGINE IS NOT GOING TO STALL. ABOUT 10 TO 15 SECONDS USUALLY WORKS.

CHECK FOR LEAKS.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE USE BRAKE WASH TO REMOVE THE FUEL SPILLED DURING THE FILTER REPLACEMENT. ALLOW IT TO DRY BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE.

RATE ME PLEASE.

Locating fuel filter

The fuel filter is located underneath the truck on the drivers side frame rail. You will need to raise the truck safely to get under. You will need a 21mm and a 16mm wrench. The 16mm wrench should be a line wrench so you don't ruin the hex head of the fitting.

1999 chevy 2500 express van 5.7 litre wont start have spark recent tune up tried starting fluid

Please throw away that starting fluid. (Damages the engine more than anyone will ever know). Engines need 3 things to run: Fuel, Spark and Air. If you have a few minor tools check to see if you are getting a spark (or "current" through the wires using a tester for that), make sure she's getting fuel (clogged mini-fuel filter or maybe bad fuel pump/filter?) Air? That means you need to somehow ensure that when the #1 cylinder hits 'top dead center' that the valve for that piston is opening shortly and supplying the air. Otherwise ...no "putt-putt". Best of luck....

You must have a leak or one of the lines are clogged. The reason it stays running when your on the gas is because it keeps the fuel pressure up. Then when it shuts off it loses all pressure in the line and the pump cant handle the initial start with the leak in the line.

My 1983 5.7 litre motor home won't go pass 30 klm an hour

You need to do check several things, 1. Have the ignition timing checked as it is possible the distributor has moved on the timing chain has jumped a tooth. 2.Check to make sure the air filter of exhaust are not blocked ( have you noticed any change in engine sounds at all?) 3. Does the engine revs increase but the road speed doesn't? It may be the transmission slipping. Check the color and smell of the transmission oil. It should be red in color , if it is black and smells burnt then the transmission needs attention.
