Hi. I have an Ford Econoline Van. It starts but has no power like it has no oomf to it. I was curious to know what the problem could be so I can start driving it. I also know it's idling pretty bad too!

Thanks.

Sorry for the late response. I had lost the website! Thank you! Will I have to change the gas line? The gas meter doesn't move, so I'm unsure if I have gas or not.
