Thx blackvan
Van eng runs strong. Will be running around FL panhandle for the next three weeks then back north. When I get home I can clear the code and check into it further. Hopefully sub 10 MPG on the way down will get back to my normal 12-13

I often take it out of OD when climbing hills so yes the OD does work. I have the 4.10 rear which does not help. I have a roof rack for this trip and fought a head wind most of the drive down. Kept speed at 65-70 did not help either. I can hear a slight ticking noise coming from under driver door which looks like Evap canister when I first start up. Still runs well. I need to do plugs when I get home as I have no idea when they were last changed New brass cap and rotor and filter only 5k old. I got 13 mpg last long trip towing trailer in Oct.
