1994 Astro vacuum propblem

Mar 25, 2007 1 Replies

My 1994 Astro makes a very loud hissing noise when I put it in gear and under partial load. I'm talking VERY loud hissing. It does not do it when in park even if I bring the revs way up. Only in gear and under load. Has next to no power when it is like this. I cannot find the leak.



Van has propane conversion which seems to be fine. I do not think it is a fuel problem, but a severe vacuum leak.



Any suggestions would be most welcome.



Just to add more...I think I have it narrowed down to the Impco 300 Carb. I am looking into having it rebuilt or replaced with a rebuilt.
