Might want to check EOT sensor either with a scanner or ohm-meter. It affects timing big time. If you unplug it the CEL will set and PCM will assume a default of 212 degrees F. Easy and cheap test.

Notice that you have 3.55 gears. How do you like them? I have 4.11 (or 4.10 whichever) and always wanted 3.55, any idea how much $ to convert?

I will measure the resistance of the EOT on monday in the workshop.
It's too cold to do it outside right now.
I was thinking, can the EOT sensor do this; At highway speeds, there is a slight stutter/hesitation and I took the van to the dealership last summer.
They connected a monitor thingy and took a test drive.
The result was that the fuel injection system had a 3 volt drop at that moment when it stutters.
At warm; there is no stutter/hesitation on full throttle, only on maintaining the speed.
At cold; it won't increase to higway speeds until it's warmed up a little, like we discussed earlier in this post.

EOT was measured today at 3 different temperatures, all OK.
IAT was perfect also.
ECT was way off scale??? It shows 194,5 Ohms at 30 degrees celcius.
It should show 24 k Ohms at 30 Degrees celcius.
Is the cooling water sensor giving me all this trouble

Noticed you have a 1 ton van. Any idea what the gear ratio is on the 16 passenger vans approx 2005-2007?

I dont own one but I had driven one a few years back and remember being impressed with the way it ran. Thought that rear end may help contribute to my decision regarding my next purchase.
