Hi Folks,

Wow! One thing after another, but I’m beating back the problems as they arrive.

This one is very important as potentially dangerous.

I wrote about a one time  incident that happened on a wet day.  This time the same thing happened on a very dry day. 

We came up to a intersection and all seemed fine.  We step on the gas and the van doesn’t excellerate.  It just sort of idles and stumbles a bit.  Then I here a couple of small backfire sounds.  Then after a bit the van finds its legs and starts running again.  We basically kept the foot on the gas during this time.  Scarey as traffic is coming at us.

I’m going to change the fuel filters but not rally sure what else to try. 

Fuel is non Ethanol high grade and I already ran sea foam this spring and even a bit of stable blue, in the fuel. 

Tips and suggestions wanted!
