It may be something as simple as a loaded up in-line fuel filter. All it takes is one gas-up with trashy gas to plug up a filter.

Do you have a check engine or service engine soon light on? If you do there should be a stored trouble code. Take your van to a place like AutoZone who will take a couple of mts to read the codes. If you do have a code post back and we can help you from there.

It may be a low fuel pressure problem. Pluged fuel filter, bad fuel pump, bad fuel psi reg. Could be bad gas. Could be a mis fire on one more cylinders.


Even if the problem isn't something that you can fix, it's nice to know what the problem is before you bring it in.
