try wiggling the ign key while driving, just in case that reveals
something.
if it cuts out driving ...
cycle key, then back.
don't pull the key out !
if it makes it happy again for while, that means something .

Tom,
Forgive the ignorance, but how do I go about checking the Ignition On
Signal? Is the parking light test the only way?
A short update too. I drove the van this morning after it sat in
cooled overnight. When heading in(15 minutes driving total), I didnt
have any issue, in any gear. The vehicle revved just fine in all
gears. When I pulled in, I had somewhat of a loping idle...lower than
usual too. It would go from 500rpm to 900rpm and back down; not the
typical even idle of 750 or so.
When I left at lunch just now, I had no issues either. I made a few
stop, and when I started home from the van cut out the same as before.
I did a couple of revving tests, and it would rev past 4400 out of
gear, and in gear, it almost felt as though it cuts out when I rev it
hard, instead of gradually.
So, does how I rev it mean something, and the fact that it happens
when warmed mean anything? What is this new idle issue?
Thanks all.

Hi Gavin,
I would also suggest checking you Ignition ON signal - any chance
the switch is giving problems. If you have the Park lights ON
(Instrument cluster lights ON)- do they blink or go OFF when your
stalling happens?
Not sure how this could be rpm related - but worth a check.

Scott,
Correct, the needle drops to zero instantly.
The tach is being run off the ECU signal.
The van worked just fine when I drove it in to town, but a few
hours later, this behaviour started.

you mean the tach needle drops to zero instantly ..
then I would ask what you are running your tach off of ..
ignition via diodes ( what I prefer )
or from ECU tach signal.
