#3 of 6 Windstar missfire by mastertech19 Apr 23, 2009 (3:28 pm)
well i have a 99 windstar and did the same thing i found a bad injector and it only missfired inbetween 1000 and 2000 rpm they also have a problem with the computer {PCM} filling with water its under the wiper cowling on the passenger side check it for moisture usaully number 4 cylinder when that happens give those things a try.The injector fixed mine working great now. Have u replaced the upper intake gaskets yet there is a kit out for them with a new valve cover i have done that too but u will get lean codes and engine light with that problem.Good luck Replies to this message: 03winded (May 18, 2009 8:43 am)
#4 of 6 Windstar misfire and ABS/BRK light problem by 03winded May 18, 2009 (8:43 am)
Replying to: mastertech19 (Apr 23, 2009 3:28 pm) My wife's 03 Windstar 77000 miles developed two problems: Started with misfire code, bog from a stop, flutter at speed. No codes anymore. Replaced: plugs, wires, (engine cylinder block is stamped 1,2,3 and should be 3,2,1!) coil pack, TPS, IAC, fuel filter (twice), air filter, camshaft sensor and crankshaft sensor. Cleaned MAF with CRC cleaner. Still no joy. Good fuel pump pressure, good fuel regulator response, manifold 'flappers' seem to function. Second problem, strange that ABS and BRK lights have acted up at the same time as engine issues. Replaced rear shoes, front ok, fluid ok. (don't ever lose a caliper slide bolt, dealer wanted $28! Got one at a bolt supply for free.) Still have occasional squeal and BRK light turns on. Jumpered per http://www.fordwindstarrecall.info/ discussion and ABS doesn't light. At wits-end due to engine bog and finally took it to dealership for both issues. Awaiting prognosis and will post.

Recently bought 97' windstar 3.8L has new headgasket and freeze plugs. Stalls when in gear and turning steering wheel.Acts as if timing is off.Starts slow and and has very little power during uphill travel.Re-Timed to correct setting and replaced cam sensor! New plugs.Ran well for 3 out of 7 miles but quickley went back to bogging down and misfiring??Any advice is welcome. Replies to this message: mfacdgba33 (Jul 28, 2009 6:38 pm)

Replying to: gunslinger22 (Jul 28, 2009 2:28 pm) try checking the fuel pressure to see if it is good and also look at maybe replaceing the fuel filter
