I forgot to mention in the previous post. The installer mention a few days ago That according to his scope (and his butt-load of other testing equipment) the ignition timing is going "very negative" when you press the pedal at an idle, and once the hesitation stops, the timing corrects itself to the proper value. My guess is that means the timing is retarded in the beginning. If anyone has an idea on this one, please let me know.

FYI- The code my mechanic found has to deal with the torque converter. I called Aamco and they are more than happy to repair it. Sounds like a solenoid... maybe the solution to the problem? *crossing fingers*

My question to anybody is, Is it possible that the throttle body screws (the ones that limit the closed and open positions) can twist out of position? My dad insists that I ask, I don't think they would move.

My plan is wednesday, the van will go to Aamco for the Transmission "issue" (Personally it's shifting great, but If they think there's a problem, let them fix it. Then It's going back to the Mechanic for one final look at the engine issue. Then on the 25th, it's going in for Body work and some fresh paint. The body shop estimates that it'll take 2 weeks to get the job done.

I'm debating between a Burnt / Sunset Orange, or a Mustang Blue (like the new mustang's blue) The color choice is still open until the day I bring it in and finalize it. Any suggestions on color would be great. I am also going to be ordering some nice 17" American Racing wheels, with tires mounted, custom seat covers (simulated leather black with either charcoal or blue inserts...depends on the exterior color), and I will be tinting the glass.

Again If anyone has any suggestions on either why the van is stalling, or what color to paint it, please let me know. And yes, I'll have before/after shots to share with all of you when it's done, but you gotta be patient.
