go under the van, take off the fuel filter and see if there is water in it. Drain it if there is. Might need to replace the filter if you think it's dirty. It's pretty cheap. If there is a lot of gunk in it, ask around and see if you need to drain your fuel tank. If you run the van for 45 min at low speeds around town, does it give you the same problems? Or, is the problem totally not temp-related? -- Craig
