Subject:Still Running Rich

Ok. So I talked with my mechanic today and he told me he checked the
following: Temp II sensor-Ok, ECU-Ok, put a wiring harness on-no effect. I
drove around for a bit and the van idled so low it died once, has great
power, then loses power without me decelerating. I can accelerate through it
and kick it up again, but goes back down. Standing idle is fine then begins
to run rich and putt badly. All of the negative things happen after the van
warms up to mid-temp. If you turn it off, and then start it again 1min
later, all is fine until it warms again. I have had suggestions to check the
wiring from the ECU to the van, and all air hoses. Both my mechanic and I
are a bit stumped. Costing me mucho in diagnostic hours....ew... He is going
to try again. Any other ideas?? Thanks so much for all everyone suggested so
far. We've gone down the list.
