I have a 93 Chevy G20 VAN G20 with a 4.3L engine that has TBI my van starts and runs for a few days. Then it will not start after sitting for a day or two it starts again and runs fine. What could be the possible cause? The fuel pump&fuel filter are working fine but the injectors are not spraying.c

There are three relays all grouped together on the firewall on the passengers side. All three are related to your situated. We can eliminate one of them because you stated that the fuel pump is operating fine. Now that leaves the relay for the ECM(engine control module) this tells the injectors, cold start and run, when and how much fuel to supply and also controls ignition timing and spark advance. The third controls the AC compressor. Now I've got to remind you that I started working on fuel injection systems the day they started failing here in the US around 1972.These were such vehicles as Mercedes, Saab and Volvo. I've worked on every configuration, TBI, MPI, diesel etc.etc. I may on occasion cross one fact with another or mispronounce certain aspect of a system however, These three injectors are where you want to concentrate your efforts. With some finnesse you can swap the harnesses from one to another. If your car runs fine and your AC suddenly does not, then you know that that relay is faulty. Do this until you get your answer. Best of luck my friend, Dana

Ignition module. I know you said the injectors won't spray. The computer gets the signal from the module to fire the injectors. Replace the ignition module.

1995 chevy g20 van will start with starting fluid when sprayed into airflow (black chamber) and runs for a few seconds only ? Where to start ?

Check your fuel pressure(should be 40 psi or better) after the fuel regulator. In your case, you probably have none. So check and or replace the fuel regulator. If this does not take care of the problem, you would need a fuel pump.

1994 chevy van g20 4.3 engine did u ever hear of the oil pick up hitting the oil pan and making a intermittent knocking sound on start up, ONLY

Hey Jim, Does this knock happen right after you change the oil? ,, or does it wait a few days to start knocking again.... I have the same issue,,, its the engine getting old.. too much clearance..piston to wall... bearings....??.. I use a half bottle Lucas Oil treatment with each oil change... I put it in last... while the engine is running so it mixes well..and I usually overfill it just a tiny bit...

Low power when accelerating

I thought the filter might be the issue here, on carb cars the engine tends to stall out with a plugged filter.
