Subject:What's going on in my Engine...

All,
  Please, someone point me in the right direction...  This morning (about 20
degree's F) my Van started fine, warmed up fine and everything was
beautiful.  About a half hour into my commute it started...  I would press
the gas pedal and the tack (and engine) would drop to 200 or 300 rpm's and
then I would let off, it would idle just fine.  Press the gas again, same
thing.  All this while trying to get through a busy intersection.  I had to
coax it across the intersection and get it onto the Freeway.  On the Freeway
at a constant speed (63 mph) it was fine.  Press the gas and hesitation, no
bucking just hesitation.  I have an 85 with Digijet FI and the cap fix in
the AFM.  The Van has been running nice for quite a while up until a week or
so ago when this problem arose.  Thank you for any insight...
