stalls lunges dies 95 3.1 van

ok i've been working on this a month after a bout with a tooth i'm back. this is a 95 apv with 3.1
this problem seemed to only happen with my wife but it finally happended while i was working on it. this van will run great i put new plug wires on it, new fuel pump, then a new oil pressure sending unit as it won't turn on the fuel pump untill the oil pressure was there. i was going to change the oil pump but maxwedge said put a manual gauge on it first. i did it has 50-70 lb. one for max
now as i was working on it it went in the craper and died i got it started and looked into the throtal body and only one injector was working. first i was going to take the injector appart then i just switched the elect and the other one quit. and the other one came on. wasn't a clog. im at the ecm at this point if you wigel the wires the get comes on runs great again drove 15 miles ran great. later went 2 blocks to the store came out of the store and it quit and the wigeling didn't work but then it started and ran fine it's back in the garage.

Wiggle wires at ecm or injectors? Try tapping the ecm firmly, see if the car shudders or stalls, if so bad pcm, look closely at the connectors ot the ecm, look for a backed out prong or corrosion, also.

Do the tap test, common pcm problem with bad soldered boards.
