Subject:Stalling after warmup in cold.

Hi Folks,

While driving in to work today I had to pull over
to the side of the road in my '90 camper because
it lost power.  I'd been having problems last evening
when pulling away from a stop off of idle.  Idle
is normal but when I accelerate it either goes
slowly or dies.  If I turn the starter it will only
start if I push down on the accelerator and hold it
and then engage the first gear.  So back to this
morning. I found in the engine compartment that the
snorkel from the air cleaner to the air distributor
had been disconnected and it took me a while to get
it right.  I was able to get to work but when I
checked
drivability at lunch time, the engine still would
stall after warmup.  I'm looking for suggestions as
I review the archives.  I really don't need this
nuisance now as it is the only drivable car I have
now.

Thanks for the help.  I you need further data, let
me know.  OH!  I changed to 10w-30w oil last night
but I don't think that has any bearing this.

Thanks!

Steven
