So that you don't have to read the whole story if you don't want to I'll SpillTheBeans

up front ~ After a couple of hours of NonShutDownRunning & 20mis of RoadTest it appears

as though the problem is solved ~ it will actually probably take 6mos to a year before I'll

believe it though, because that's just the way I am ~ It was the IdleStabilizesControlUnit/

Relay.

I went straight to D15 on the FuseBlock but amazingly it looked just fine ~ very slight

discoloration right @ the opening but otherwise LooksLikeNew, in fact the whole plug looks

great ~ by the way, this Van has a VeryLarge Red/Blk wire in D23 - at least 10 maybe 8ga.

Next I swapped ECUs & it ran for 48mins & then Shutdown. I then swapped ISCU/R & let

it run for 58mins before deciding to take it for a TestDrive & put 7.8mis & another 1/2hr on

it before shutting down to put the original ECU back in. Than ran it for another 1/2hr while

I put tools away & then took it for another 12.2mi TestDrive ~ It may very well be fixed.??

The owner is going to drive it out to MyPlace this weekend & leave it with me so I can

do a TranyFluid change ~ hasn't had that done or even checked in @Least 12yrs I'm told ~

2nd, 3rd & 4th are a bit whiny or yowly but 1st sounds great so we'll see if fresh good lube

helps that @All ~ with 217,000mis on it NewTranyTime may be JustAroundTheCorner.

Thanks for all the help guys ~ YouBeGreat
