Had a rich running fuel injection and it turned out to be The Temp II sensor(thanks to all that responded my plea for help). One small problem. The plastic thermostat housing crumbled on a hose connection.Has any one had this happen? The donor gave up annother vital part but no "o" rings could be found at the dealer. The local plumbing supply house was able to help me out. Did the bleeding procedure but got little air from the radiator. I measured the coolant that i collected against what i put in and was almost identical 1/2 a quart. Had it up 6" off the ground 2000 rpm . repeated the procedure 4 times. Will repeat again in a week just to be obsessive/compulsive. Bottom line is that it was a 4 hr p.i.a. two trips to the store and now the van runs SO NICE. Thanks again to you all.
