The customer stated that two days ago after coming off the highway the Van began surging and then stalled. It would not restart for three hours. He drove it several miles and it repeated the same, first surging then stalling and no restart. He drove it in today and it sat for two hours and then it would not start. After pushing it in and testing spark, ok at that time, then fuel injector pulse the thing started. It ran for over an hour but idled rough. I tested the temp sender resistance-was ok. Then I tested the voltage based on the Vantage it was way off. When I disconnected the temp sender the pulse width went up from 3.08 to 3.4 and the idle smoothed out. Based on the vantage voltage readings I replaced the temp sender only to find it identical to the old one. The vane air flow meter is reading 1.36 at idle-Vantage spec to 1.15. I could not get it to not start. Any ideas on what to check? Thanks for the help.
