Hi All,


I've got a 90 MultiVan with about 150K on it that runs great except for one
thing that drives me crazy.  When driven around a parking lot or a long
driveway etc. at lower RPMs, around 2500 to 3000, it sometimes lurches.
Almost like I am pushing down the accelerator and then quickly letting off
again - over and over.  It is VERY irritating!  The only two options I have
when it does this is to accelerate or put in the clutch and carefully let it
out again so the process doesn't repeat itself.  Any ideas on what to check?
It just had a recent tuneup, had new plug wires and other than this one
thing it runs great!


Any help or suggestions is appreciated.


-Hans
