Hello Group!

I have a 1988 E150 2x4 Limited-Slip Wheelchair Van

She was converted as new into a Quad wheelchair van, 1n 1987.

In 1996 with 97,000 miles her original 302 was replaced due to a burned-out
valve et al. I figured I might as well replace the entire engine.  It was
lacking power anyway.  I had a high rise cam put in for more power.  A stock
302 wasn't powerful enough.  The cam made little noticeable difference if
any.

In 2004 a similar problem arose at 177,000 miles and I had a 351W with a
high rise cam and dual exhaust installed.engine number 3.  She's got plenty
of power now.  It's a Jasper rebuild with the original fuel injection from
the 302 Betsy came with.

THE PROBLEM:

At a cold start; she starts fine, but as she warms up the idle lowers and
she stalls-every time.  When I restart her she's okay.

At a warm start (after 15 minutes or so) she stalls.

This has been going on since quite long ago-even with the previous
engine(s).  I thought the problem would go away with the new engine, but it's
still there.

This is a real pain in cold weather.  What could it be?  The mechanic thinks
it might go away as the computer gets used to the new engine.  She did sit
for a few months and the batteries went dead.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thank you.
