Everytime we have to use the A/C the van hesitates at idle. When we put it in drive or reverse the rpms drop and it acts like it is going to die. At first it only happened at idle or at low speeds, now it hesitates at times when you are going anywhere from 0-40 mph. We have hooked it up to the computer and it only says that it has random mulitlpe misfires. Please help me.

P0300 Random Misfire usually means vacuum leak or bad fuel.

Misfires can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel
