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?
