The latest -

I took the van first to a dealer service area where he told me the fuel
injection system is such a problem that the Santa Monica dealer (where
this guy used to work) charged a minimum of $500 to look at it, and maybe
they did too (Van Nuys area). I went to a mechanic across the street who
also thought it was the  fuel system, and said he would need it for two
hours next week to trouble shoot it. The third shop I went to actually
drove it, again said it was a fuel problem, mentioned the pump (which was
replaced once before I got it) might be the problem as I changed the
filter, and if not ther could be a problem anywhere from in the tank to
the other end. He would need the car for two days. I looked into getting
an O2 sensor and a new fuel pump but didn't buy either yet. This only
happens after it has been running and is fully warmed up. Kind of reminds
me of a vapor problem I had with my truck once, but....
