Asked by Bluvnit34 Jun 21, 2018 at 08:48 PM about the 1997 Chevrolet Astro LT Extended RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

the throttle cable got stuck while I was doing 80 mph on the highway. I had to
put the van in neutral to get it stopped. The engine revved at high rpm's for
about 1 minute. after fixing the cable the van was running like it was firing
wrong. i put it on a machine and it said bad max air flow sensor and a misfire
in cylinder 1. I changed the throttle position sensor, spark plugs and wires
and the whole distributor assembly. I did not mark it before I changed it. now
my van wont start.

I found a solution to this problem. I changed the throttle position sensor, the max air flow sensor spark plugs and wires and I also changed the whole distributor (not just the cap and rotor). My van runs fine.
