Chev APV Car Answers
while driving my 1991 chevy lumina apv van for approximately 20-30 minutes, my van will make a funny noise, start jerking and shut off with the service engine soon light on. the van will start back up and run in park but, it will shut off again when shifting gear to reverse or drive. what will cause this problem? this first happened on 12-31-04 and did'nt happen again until 2-11-05. and when car is not running until the next day, it will not happen for a while. please help.I brought my van in for repair because it wouldn't start. I have had the fuel pump replaced recently and it worked fine for 2 weeks and then it wouldn't start one morning. I opened the fuel cap to listen for the fuel pump to see if it was working, but heard nothing. I called the repair shop and they came and picked it up, they phoned me later and told me that it wasn't my fuel pump this time, but it was my ignition module. when I questioned why I didn't here the fuel pump operating in the tank they told me it was because the ignition tells the fuel pump to work and this was why I didn't hear it. I am now faced with the purchasing a new ignition module at over 300 dollars. can u tell me if what the shop is telling me is true. my motor is a 3.8 6 cly, 2 wheel drive, not all wheel drive.
