98 Astro Van,when warm hesitating, stalling

I have a 1998 Chevy Astro. Runs great until it gets warm then it starts hesitating whenever you take off or turn a corner (want to make sure you have plenty of room to pull out). Once this problem starts for the day it will also stall when it idles at a light. ses light is on and reads code for the o2 sensor. did spark plugs and wires, iac valve, distributor cap,pcvalve, fuel filter, mass air flow sensor, thermostat, heating cooling sensor, cleaned o2 sensors and egr valve. all vacuum lines are fine. any ideas as to what is wrong?

I have1990 Chevy Astro van,it starts just fine,when it warms up,driving it or sitting still in drive or reverse, it stalls,I start it back up,in park or neutral,it stays idiling.Idles cold,stalls warm

Check the ECM grounds, they are under the passenger side kick panel. When the engine goes to warm status, the Oxygen sensors come on, If there is no ground on the ECM then it starts pulling ground voltage across the sensors and that causes big issues.

1999 My Astro starts fine and idles fine; however from around 20 to 30 mph it hesitates. after 30-40 km/hr runs good

Skmet, Have you had a full tune up lately, including an injector cleaning. Problem could be a misfire, have a good Tech scan for codes, diagnose and estimate repair. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

What is an 02 sensor upstream 98 astro van

02 sensor is your oxygen sensor, 98 chevy astro carries 3 oxygen sensor. i belived your bad sensor is on the passenger side by the exhaust manifold but if not try the drivers side all the oxygen sensor for this van are the same. you need to go under the van to replace it, if is to hard to get it out turn your van for five minutes then turn it off and try again, be carefull not to burn your self. the one close to the catalytic converter is the downstream oxygen sensor ok, good luck!!!!!!

I have a '98 Astro van that starts fine when cold but is hard to start win hot. It idle and runs fine. After it cools down completely, it will start OK. I was told it could be a fuel pressure problem and...

I agree, replace the Coolant temp sensor, it will have 2 wires going to it, Not 1. Usually located just behind the breather near the thermostat outlet.

This sensor controlles your timing and fuel to air ratio.
