Air Intake Control valve???
We have a 3.8 and had similar issues with the van stalling. Similarly, we had to feather the throttle to get it running at times. We had replaced plugs, wires and fuel filter as well. We were able to get it running right by relieving the fuel pressure at the relief valve by the intake manifold.
Finally did some searching and decided to start throwing parts at it. Bought an Air Intake Control (AIC) valve for about $90. We haven't had the problem since (knock on wood). It has been running fine for over 6 months.
My next attempt was going to be having the induction system cleaned. From what I read, it sounds like doing this could also clean and correct problems with the AIC valve. However, I think it costs more to do this.
