I think that means it either too rich or the ignition timings out. Does it pink?
no pinking,it only does it in gear i might add. light throttle out of gear it does not do it. how can i tell if its to rich.

Guys it is 'pinging', not 'pinking' 
If the engine is surging at low throttle I would first look at the entire ignition system (including the timing) and also make sure the timing belt pulleys are tight and not floating.

Hey Brayden, If you speak with an older mechanic they will tell you it is pinking. We younger blokes simply mis-heard them.
So many delays to getting my MB back in order with 993cc & 5 speed transaxle... neighbor issue gone, donor shell up on rotisserie, new sheds on the way.... another project also..
'Pinking' is an archaic British term, and I'm on a one-man mission to bury it.

I'm only having a joke. It doesn't really matter what you call it, we all understand what it means.

Pulsing, surging, basically the vehicle feels like it is doing mini roo-hops at low RPM.

Detonation, pinging and pinking. I never know which one to choose haha. I've been told its all of the lot.
Anyway hook a timing light up to your Van.

Detonation causes a pinging/pinking noise that I found hard to notice until the damage was done.
