1994 Chevrolet G20 problems
The Chevrolet Van or Chevy Van (also known as the Chevrolet/GMC G-series vans and GMC Vandura) is a range of vans that was manufactured by General Motors from the 1964 to 1996 model years. Introduced as the successor for the rear-engine Corvair Corvan/Greenbrier, the model line also replaced the panel van configuration of the Chevrolet Suburban. The vehicle was sold both in passenger van and cargo van configurations as well as a cutaway van chassis that served as the basis for a variety of custom applications.
Produced across three generations (1964–66, 1967–70, and 1970–96), the model line was sold under a wide variety of model names under both the Chevrolet and GMC brands. The first two generations were forward control vehicles (with the engine placed between the seats); the third generation adopted a configuration placing the engine forward of the driver. The second and third generations shared powertrain commonality with the C/K pickup truck model line.
After the 1996 model year, GM retired the G-Series vans, replacing them with the GMT600-platform Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana.

Common 1994 Chevrolet G20 problems
Based on the complaints from owners of the Chevrolet G20 1994, several common problems have been reported:
- Stalling and Metallic Knocking Sound When Idling:
Another common complaint is the vehicle stalling or dying when idling, accompanied by an occasional metallic knocking sound. This issue can be frustrating and potentially dangerous.

- Electronic Spark Timing (Code 42):
Some owners have experienced a check engine light with a code 42 related to Electronic Spark Timing. This can lead to issues with engine performance and fuel efficiency. Checking the connections between the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and the Engine Control Module (ECM) is crucial to diagnose and resolve this problem.
- Chugging/Skipping While Driving at Low RPM:
Owners have reported chugging or skipping while driving at low RPM, especially when idling in drive or reverse. This issue can affect the overall driving experience and may indicate underlying engine or transmission problems. Proper diagnosis and potentially replacing components like the ICM, ECM, or spark plugs may be necessary to address this issue effectively.
- Intermittent Stalling After Refueling:
Some owners have faced intermittent stalling issues after refueling, accompanied by the return of chugging/skipping and occasional loud metallic clanking/knocking sounds. This problem can be concerning and may point to fuel system or engine issues. Thorough inspection and potential repairs are essential to prevent further damage and ensure the vehicle's reliability.
By addressing these common problems promptly and accurately, Chevrolet G20 1994 owners can maintain the performance, safety, and longevity of their vehicles. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are key to ensuring a smooth driving experience and preventing more significant issues down the road.
