Please provide your name and VIN number (via pm if you prefer), so I may research this thoroughly. I look forward to hearing from you.

Have you taken the vehicle in to your local dealer for an inspection? If so, what was the issue? If you would like to pm me your name and VIN number, I can forward the information to our tech team. They may be able to offer more information. I look forward to hearing from you.

Louis I haven't taken the van into the service department because it doesn't happen all the time you never know when it is going to so I have a hard time spending $120 an hour to not find the problem I was hoping someone else may have had the same problem so i would have a idea on where to start looking and I am not sure what giving you my vin number will help my problem?

Unfortunately, the description of the problem is somewhat vague; therefore, it is difficult to pinpoint the problem. That is why I had asked if you had been to the dealer. They would be able to help you with the problem with better accuracy. I asked for your VIN number so I could research your vehicle further. I understand your hesitation, that's why I suggested you PM it to me. You are in no way obligated to provide that information, I was simply trying to assist you further. I hope you are able to determine the root of your problem. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me.

As posted in another thead Chevrolet Customer Service can not or will comment or assit on DIY repairs all he wants to do is get you to take it to a dealer.See the post below. How long do you have to wait to start it after it will not start?

when it doesn't start the first time we usually press the the gas petal and it usually starts after a few seconds on the second try but it still fights a bit. Wondering if it could be a relay or a air lock in the fuel system
