It's a GM product. They aren't supposed to be reliable. Every one of them
that owned in the past, was a shoddy imitation of a vehicle.

Have you ever used Techron injector cleaner in it? With Hondas it seems
to work great, twice a year.
It actually sounds like the Honda MAIN RELAY problem. Listen to see if
your fuel pump primes the system for two seconds when you turn the key
to ON. If not, maybe you could SEARCH google and see if the Astro has a
similar main relay problem. See also www.tegger.com for 'no start'
conditions.

Careful how you answer this one. GM FI systems are quite different from
Honda ones. The OP would be much better off posting to rec.autos.tech or
alt.trucks.chevy.
