Can Someone help? I got a 88 Astro and was driving it down the freeway at 70 mph. All of the sudden the check engine light was on and the van was loosing power. I was able to drive about 3 miles until the van completely lost power and died. Could not start up again. The van has been towed to the nearest repair facility (unfortunetly, a dealer), but I think the problem is either the fuel pump (the van cranks but won't start). Any advice would be appreciated- I have to drive another 500 miles to reach my destination!

Thanks.

Sounds like it could be one of 100 things. Without the code from the computer it will be really hard to tell.

Fuel pumps are a known common weak point of these vans.
