Just got a call from the wife in Montana with a idle problem. She said that the van w/n idle and to keep it running she has to keep the RPMs up. Drive above 35 MPH seems to work OK. Need HELp fast. I am in ALaska and trying to trouble shoot overthe phone is hard.

Look at the lower portion of the throttle body for the IAC. Make sure you disconnect the battery for a few minutes once you remove and clean passages so it resets the computor.
