Trace the rod that goes to the throttle from the transmission forward
and you will find a pivot point that is toward the front of the
transmission (front of the van as well).  Take this pivot point apart
(It has one 13mm head nut) and clean it up and lubricate it with
graphite grease.  This should fix your problem.  It happens from time to
time.
