Three problems related to fuel injection have been reported for the 1997 Chevrolet Venture. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
O-ring cracked on fuel filter under the vehicle, fuel leaked all over garage, and consumer woke up, coughing and had burning eyes. Consumer felt house could have exploded.
Service advisor indicated that gm is having a problem with the Venture vans where the fuel injectors clog up with fuel for no apparent reason.
After owning vehichle a few months, van was left running while parked, waiting on a passenger. It ran out of gas during this time and we filled a total of four five gallon gas cans, in an attempt to get it started. Finally Chevrolet was contacted and I was informed that the vehicle had some self-destruct mechanism which caused a diaphram (?) in the tank to disable should it ever run out of gas or have gas put in in any method other than with a standard nozzle. This, I was told was a safty feature so that owner's would take it into the shop should they run out of gas, so that the vehicle could be checked. However, had I ran out of gas in an unsafe area, this could prove detrimental to my safety and that of my passengers.
