I have a 2001 Safari with 160k miles. The van runs great down the road until I stop at a light or sign etc.. Then intermittenly the idle drops and stalls. No problem starting, but at that point I am left to drive two footed. The gages drop also (oil pressure, alternator, fuel). As time goes on, it seems to be more frequent. Any thoughts where to start?
sounds like a clasiic EGR valve problem, but that would set a trouble code and turn on the check engine light during the problem. have you checked for stored trouble codes?
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']I had a similar problem with my 92 Safari. I changed the throttle position sensor with no change. Turned out to be the EGR had a piece of carbon causing the valve to not close. I cleared it with the air hose and when I went to get a new gasket I was asked if I wanted the $2 or the $10 one. I asked what the difference is. Turns out the $10 one has a screen to keep big particles out of the EGR. Still a year later starts better than my 2002 Safari.[/font]
