the .4 to .7 volts warmed up and at 2K rpm shows that the 02 sensor is
working ..
like medium all right.
a wider swing range would be better..
but it's not dead ..
or badly lazy.

the engine 'stalling out' at 2 minutes of running ...
what's that about ?
do you have a tachometer in the dash ?

is it a 'fast/hard' shut off ..
or a slowish  soft one ?

got a fuel pressure tester ?
Rarer that that's off ...but I have found vans with fuel pressure problems,
fuel pick-up problems..
and water in the fuel.

what do the spark plugs look like ?

Scott
