Aaron,
It sounds like you are not running on all four cylinders (I am sorry I
am talking about the van, not you personally :-) .  Anyway, pull the
spark plugs and see what they look like.  The one that isn't firing is
going to be either black or wet or both.  You can narrow it down by
having the van running and then pulling the plug wires off one at a time
at the distributor cap.  Pull one off and see if it makes a difference
to the way the van is running, then put it back and do the same for each
plug.  The one that doesn't seem to make a difference in how the van is
running is the culprit.  It could just be a bad plug, a bad wire, or
maybe you have lost compression or have a bad injector on that
cylinder.  At least you will know where to start investigating.

If you find you need any parts please let me know.

Yesterday it stalled out and then when I restarted it immediately and put it back in drive it began sputtering and now will not go over 3000 rpm in D. When warming up in the morning, it will rev up fine but then place it in drive and there is just no go.  What should I start to look at?  Cold as hell right now in Louisville.
