Many thanks to all for the great advice and ideas I got in such a short amount of time. The van sits in the garage, and I am not wanting to drive it and get stuck again. Usually, that paranoia goes away over time :-) I am going to try the things that were recommended, and I assume that since it runs fine at the moment, it is something along the lines of vapor lock. I did a compression test and they are all withing 100 - 110. Not great, but at least within specs. More to come when I get my life back. Thanks again to all,
