Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Astro owners report experiencing starting issues due to various ignition system component failures, such as a lack of spark caused by faulty ignition coils, modules, or distributor components. Additionally, internal distributor faults may lead to engine misfires and stalling, complicating the starting process. Some owners have noted that while the engine may turn over, problems with the fuel system, including faulty fuel pumps or filters, can prevent it from starting. Intermittent starting problems, particularly in damp conditions, have also been reported, even after replacing key components. Furthermore, issues with the ignition key not turning due to binding locks or ignition switch failures can hinder the starting process. Malfunctioning starters may require replacement to resolve starting failures, and a ticking noise in the engine could indicate low oil levels or ignition issues affecting the start. It is recommended that owners consult a professional mechanic for accurate diagnosis and resolution of these issues.
