addendum to last question,I couldn't figure out how to add to it again,.I changed plugs,cap,rotor, noticed gas coming out of valve on one of the fuel lines after I was done,while I was tuning it up,i pushed on valve w a screwdriver to see if I had pressure,not much it seemed.I don't have a fuel pressure tester,I didn't even know what the valve was,I THINK,it's pressure relief valve,there's a proper name for it somewhere,and yes,I do use a lot of punctuation.Should a little gas come out of this valve?Maybe as it re-pressurizes?To answer my own question about whats wrong w van:it's 15 yrs old and has over 250,000 miles on it,but I'm broke and jobless,might as well fix what I can,huh?Whats wrong w my 1995 chevy astro?The valve that your talking about sounds like the fuel pressure test port.After you crank over your motor a few times it should have a good bit of fuel spray come out of it when press in on the center of the valve.If you don't have a fuel pressure tester to be sure that it's got enough pressure, you could either find somebody that does or just replace the fuel pump.Maybe with a used one from a junk yard.Whats wrong w my 1995 chevy astro?ur pressure relief valve should not b leaking fuel......but anyway to pressurize it u simply turn the key to run...fuel pump should kick on and pressurize the system...
btw u can usually rent a fuel pressure tester in most parts store's loan-a-tool programs...
and u left out plug wires if u didn't change those it needs to b done....and btw old trick i used is i always wrap plug wires with electric tap at least 2 layers thick b4 i install them.......makes the cheapies work almost as good as the high dollar ones.....makes them last longer too.....
even do it with accel 300+ race wires on race cars...
