Periodically my van will hesitate when changing from 1 gear to another. Mostly when I start pressing gas after stopping at a red light

Replace the camshaft position sensor ... Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor (3.0L)On top rear of engine. Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor (3.8L)On top right side of engine Also have the vacuum lines/hoses and intake manifold gaskets checked for leaks this is the cause of the P0171/174 codes hope this helps
