You don't say what year your van is, but my '81 had the same problem when 
traversing railroad tracks and occassionally on the highway.  Turned out 
that one of connectors to the Mass Flow Sensor had gotten pushed back 
into the plug, causing intermittent contact.  The problem appeared to be 
heat related, probably due to expansion/contraction of the boot around 
the plug.  Pushed the connector back into place and haven't had a problem 
since.
