Many thanks to the people who started the thread on idle problems and
mentioned the little adjustment screw on the ISV. It worked! The cover
of mine was already removed (so the PO must have been playing with it)
and it was so far out it almost fell out. So I turned it in about 5
turns and the van starts and idles fine when cold. No more need to
feather the gas peddle to keep it going until you get out of the
driveway.

Thanks again!
