Sounds like your running wayyy rich, possible o2 sensor, temp sensor, has the van set any codes? "check engine light" if so these need to be read.

Re: 94 astro blowing back smoke

Got the manual.It was informative...but not a cure.I took it to a local garage to have it scanned...$37.50.Turned out it was the coolant temperature sensor....$40.00 for the premieum one.The engine kept thinking it was like -40 causing the choke to stay on.Very easy to replace myself.Took 15 min.Started it up and after it cleared itself out(more black smoke)it ran fine and continues to do so!!Problem solved!!
