Its likely the fuel pump its not the coil . When was the last time you had the fuel filter changed. No matter its not your fault. I personialy owen one of these a 96 4.3 this is a problem with these vehicles 95 through 99 that i know of and i think even later modals. They will last 10 years if your lucky and don't put a lot of milage on them. The pump is in side the fuel tank and the tank has to come down to replace the pump. But they fixed the problem and if you repair it you should not ever have this problem again chevy got away with one it should have been a recall. Sorry its not happy news at christmas but i see 10 of these a day same problem you have same years

    You didn't say that you put a new pump in. Did they replace the wireing to the pump thats a nother issue its supposed to be a resistance type of wireing that did n't come on the vehicle but they should have up graded with the pump replacement or it could be the fuel pressure regulator located inside the plum above the intake maniflod with the fuel injectors

1996 Chevy Astro V6 67K wont start when cold, needs engine starter fluid, ok when warmed up. Runs smooth. What is wrong?

I would say that the choke sensor (or whatever it is called) went bad & isn't telling the computer that it's cold & requires more fuel. Instead of starter fluid, did you try to push the foot feed 1 or 2 times?

I just bought a 1999 chevy astro van AWD

i am not mechanic but realise logic control senses excessive rear wheel spin and transfers some torque to front wheels. try quick take off on gravel road to see which wheels dig in or have friend spot if front wheels are driving when they should be. could be simple corrosian at wiring harness. unplug and spray with contact cleaner and re connect and re try. this wont cost you anything.

1994 Chevy Astro Van- four wheel drive

Sounds like the auto shut down relay. Located somewhere in the front grille/bumper area. Relay triggers on impact to shut down all power in order to prevent fires etc. Great idea but can cause exactly the frustration you are having if you don't know it's there!!
