Everyone says don't suspect the ECU until you've tried absolutely everything else, I can't guess what else it could be. HELP! >> Well quit guessin' and start BETTIN' !!! Now I ain't a gamblin man, but, If'n I were you, I would price an ECU for your van. THEN price a Bentley Manual and a decent multi-meter, and (maybe) a vacuume gauge. Spend an afternoon in the garage with your beloved (the van, that is). Here's the proposition: If you are SURE that the ECU can be the only problem, bet your ENTIRE paycheck on that ECU. If your wrong. you loose $$$ 'cuz electronic parts are non-refundable. If you bet on the Bentley/tools you may spend some of that paycheck, with some $$$ left to stop by Taco Bell. I assure you, you will find the problem, learn a ton in the process, get some useful tools and a manual, and stand releived that it was not the ECU...(I played this game with a Porsche 914 and lost a couple of paychecks) You make the call. you betcha, gm"lucky-dice"bulley fairfax,va
