your previous posts
I went back and looked at your posts from January on...
Like Blackvan and several others have said... get the right computer chip in there... computer chips RUN these engines and instruments... you HAVE to get the RIGHT one for the van to 1/2 way run correctly!
But before you go replacing the fuel pump for the second time, I'd suggest getting a the right PCM/ECU/computer. You don't have the right one to begin with. Call a dealership with your VIN and get the right part number. Cardone remanufactured are recommended on these forums pretty often. I've seen a number of places that allow returns on them if it doesn't resolve your issue.

My experience when that happens is that the gas is backing up the filler neck. When the pump filler nozzle gets contact with gas backing up, the switch in the nozzle cuts off the flow so gas doesn't back up on the ground creating an explosive atmosphere. Air has to escape from the tank in order to give room for the liquid.
Look for a crimped filler hose and also check for a vent return line that may be plugged/crimped so that air can't release from the tank as gas is flowing into the tank. I don't know if the vapor recovery system or charcoal canister system, if you have one, could cause this. I have heard of a blocked canister but I don't know what the symptoms were. It may have filled up with vapors that condensed into liquid form.
