1997 Chevrolet Venture Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$29.99 USD
Unit price
This factory service and repair manual for the 1997 Chevrolet Venture covers the van in the two body configurations it was sold in, a four-door mini passenger van and a three-door mini passenger van, each offered as a Base or an LS. One engine did the work: a 3.4L pushrod V6 of 207 cubic inches, naturally aspirated and running on gasoline. The manual carries its specifications, torque values and diagnostic routines along with the sliding door hardware, brakes, steering and body wiring that set this van apart from a car.

Known issues on the 1997 Venture. Eight recalls sit on the federal record for this year. A power sliding door can close without latching and swing open while the van is moving, putting an unbelted occupant at risk of falling out; a passenger holding the interior handle as the motor drives that door open can have an arm forced into the seat back. Wiper linkage that rubs a brake line can chafe it until fluid escapes and stopping distances grow. Owners filed 477 complaints, led by steering at 79, engine and cooling at 77 and exterior lighting at 57.
