OK, i bought my van knowing it had an issue with idle speed and cutting out, so far i have replaced:

Distributor (New AC Delco)
Fuel Pump (Denso)
Fuel filter
Coil pack (AC Delco)
Spider, the new version
New Vac pipes.

Its been along week of work, the good news is, when its warm it seems fine, i think cold is a different story (suspect temp sender) for the ECU.

Ill let ya know what i find, but the symptoms are poor start idle (cuts out) miss fires badly, no power.

So the last things could be IACV. EGR valve or Temp sender...oh well, lets see what tomorrow brings
But at least she runs 100% when warm....so im reasonably happy

Temp sender went south on mine and its was running a little ruf but when cold , when warm it was a dissaster , so i would doubt the temp sender is toasted ,but i am no expert and nothing is absolute so...., when the temp sender is on the frits it will by default tell the ecu that outside temp is -40 C , if good it will show the actual outside temperature , when motor as not been running , obd2 scan would let you know for sure , good luck and let us know what was wrong .
