Intermittent stalling & starting


my 84' vanagon, auto trans; gives me problems starting although I have fuel, new plugs, & fuel filter.  The engine cranks and I can smell fuel.   Let it sit for a several hours and "bang"... starts with no problem!  This was happening about a month or two ago, and I just scheduled my errands around the problem.  After about a week, the problem seemed to work itself out..... and she ran fine & started fine after that.  (for a while)    Now just recently, it will stall at a traffic stop if I do not shift it to neutral and give it gas.  If it so happens to stall and shut off, I'm not gonna be able to start it  for a couple of hours!
(go figure???)    So, as I write this, it runs very weak, and I can only go on errands that will allow several hours between stopping and starting.....???  Please e-mail me with any help or advice....Bill
