Whats wrong w my 1995 chevy astro?

addendum to last question,I couldn't figure out how to add to it again,.I changed plugs,cap,rotor, noticed gas coming out of valve on one of the fuel lines after I was done,while I was tuning it up,i pushed on valve w a screwdriver to see if I had pressure,not much it seemed.I don't have a fuel pressure tester,I didn't even know what the valve was,I THINK,it's pressure relief valve,there's a proper name for it somewhere,and yes,I do use a lot of punctuation.Should a little gas come out of this valve?Maybe as it re-pressurizes?To answer my own question about whats wrong w van:it's 15 yrs old and has over 250,000 miles on it,but I'm broke and jobless,might as well fix what I can,huh?Whats wrong w my 1995 chevy astro?
The valve that your talking about sounds like the fuel pressure test port.After you crank over your motor a few times it should have a good bit of fuel spray come out of it when press in on the center of the valve.If you don't have a fuel pressure tester to be sure that it's got enough pressure, you could either find somebody that does or just replace the fuel pump.Maybe with a used one from a junk yard.Whats wrong w my 1995 chevy astro?
ur pressure relief valve should not b leaking fuel......but anyway to pressurize it u simply turn the key to run...fuel pump should kick on and pressurize the system...



btw u can usually rent a fuel pressure tester in most parts store's loan-a-tool programs...



and u left out plug wires if u didn't change those it needs to b done....and btw old trick i used is i always wrap plug wires with electric tap at least 2 layers thick b4 i install them.......makes the cheapies work almost as good as the high dollar ones.....makes them last longer too.....

even do it with accel 300+ race wires on race cars...
