I have a 98 savana with a 5.0. It stumbles pretty bad when its cold, sometimes it shuts off.when it warms up its fine. In the past year i have replaced ths spider injection.fuel pump.tune up.intake manifold gasket. Maf. O2 s. There is no codes and no ses light. Any ideas?
 
The first things to change are spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap and rotor. It just cost me $100 (American). Fixed my problem.
 
I drove it around today, and it was stumbling after it warmed up. I pulled the plugs after driving. They all looked fine. Plugs wires cap and rotor and csm sensor were replaced less than 10k miles ago. I also visually inspected cap and rotor and did continuity check on wires. The problem is intermittent which is whats throwing me off
 
It's your call. My Jimmy had the same symptoms. My wires, cap, etc... had less than 12,000. My smog tech told me to change them out before I replace anything else. He was right. I don't trust ohm testing the wires. Years ago I had a bad wire that checked out ok when ohm tested.
