Hello,

I have seen the torque converter clutch solenoid stick on causing the problem you are describing but to be sure can you upload a short video of what the van is doing?

Here is a guide that can help you:

I have also seen a dirty throttle body, or a vacuum leak cause the problem as well.

This guide is used when the engine is cold only:

Please go over these guides and report back.
