Van acts like its starving of gas when the accelator is pushed. It will not go above 10 mph if you push down too fast. You have to push the accelerator down really slow and easy and easy for it to get to a desired speed. The oxygen sensors both have been changed. We were thinking it might be the throttle positioning sensor, the fuel sensor and now maybe the speed sensor. Let us know what you think! Thanks!
