DID THIS PROBLEM START AFTER THE TUNE UP OR WAS IT THE REASON FOR THE TUNE UP?

It idled a little rough but it never died out before the tune up and not after the tune up a week later the timing belt needed to be replaced after a new belt was installed, that is when it started to die out, the engine is timed correctley the tuneup was just for better performance, the timing belt just happened to break after the tuneup otherwise the engine runs good at highway speed

I WOULD TAKE THE VAN SOMEWHERE AND HAVE IT CHECKED FOR FAULT CODES, AUTOZONE AND MANY OTHER PARTS STORES WILL CHECK IT FOR YOU OR LET USE USE THE CODE TESTER ON THEIR LOT.
HAVE YOU HAD THE FUEL SYSTEM FLUSHED?
