I am wondering if anyone can offer some help on this issue my vanagon has:

When I start it up and have it running for about 4 or 5 minutes, my van
stalls. It seems as if it is not getting fuel to the engine.

when that happens I turn the engine off briefly, and restart it and it
starts and runs fine after that. If I am driving, when I notice it start to
studder I can just put it in neutral, turn the ignition off and restart it
while still driving. It then will run fine until I stop and let it cool
down, and then the same thing will happen.

It does this consistently. It never becomes a bigger problem than that. It
will always restart right away, and runs ok after that.

Somone I spoke with thought it might be a vacuum hose. Does this sound
logical? Is there anything else that this sounds like it could be?

Any help would be appreciated.
