These problems may include increased oil consumption, necessitating more frequent oil changes. Overheating of the engine is a particularly severe issue that can lead to fires and even explosions. Loose gaskets should be promptly tightened, and a loose spark plug can cause engine malfunctions. Address any oil leaks promptly. Remember to change the coolant every 60,000 miles, and replace the spark plugs every 100,000 miles unless they are copper, in which case they should be changed every 30,000 miles. The air filter should be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles.
The engine coolant temperature sensor for the Chevy Astro Van can be found in the coolant pipe, situated beneath the air intake pipe and behind the right cylinder head. It is built into the ECT sensor for convenience.
