need some help here. im picking up a 96 or a 98 I forget exactly. the van sat for about 8 months I don't know if it ran fine before it was parked or not. the van starts hard but starts , idles fine when you touch the gas pedal it wants to stall. it was throwing a code for the crank sensor that was replaced and it did not fix the problem but the code has not come back. so far things checked were...

cat -ok
gas - fresh
fuel filter - new
maf - new
egr - removed ,cleaned, worked fine put it back on.
no vaccume leaks
plugs , wire , cap, rotor - new
fuel pressure 54 psi does not leak down over night.
o2 sensor was giving some real goofy numbers have not done anything with it yet im stumped could a o2 cause that problem ? Im starting to lean towards the computer.

Fuel pressure should be 60 to 66 pounds according to repair manual. :supz:

Can you pump the gas and hold it to around 2000rpm without stalling? If the o2 sensor has funky readings why has it not thrown out a code? Or is it throwing out an o2 sensor code?
