My 1999 Chevrolet Astro van has several problems including the intake manifold gasket.
 

I own a 1999 Chevrolet Astro van with 143,000 Km.  The intake manifold gasket has been replaced at a cost of $650 CND.

I drove it for a day and it lost power.  The van still starts but it has a metallic rattle in the engine.  The speedometer is going up like a tachometer would as I increase the engine rpm.

Is this a known problem with the Astro van.

What do you think has happened with the engine?

This van is a real piece of junk.  I just replaced the fuel pump and power steering pump.
