Thank you for your answer,

In a cold morning the van starts just fine, but once the car is warmed up it takes about
2 tries to start the van. During the stating process it is a bit erratic, but then settles down.
In idle the car is a bit unstable. I have replaced the spark plugs, spark plug-wires, cap & rotor, and the started was replaced this summer. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.

If your injrctors are bleeding down after a warm shutoff, they will actually flood the clyinders a little bit and make a restart hard and a rough running condition for the first minute or so. Hope this helps.
