Ford Windstar Problems

I think once you secure them, the popping and creeking will go away. I have a '96 that was doing that and spotted that problem...ten dollar spot welding and no more problems with it, at even 230,000 MILES!
There are no indicator lights on. The transmission maintenance has always been according to the owners manual. Earlier message mentioned the throttle position sensor however I would expect the engine to be acting up as well.
Replies will be appreciated.
:sick:
I've also noticed at idle when only the front AC is turned on, the compressor keeps engaging and disengaging making a clicking sound every time it kicks on again.
It comes on for about 5 to 10 seconds and then disengages again, it repeats this.
Unless the rear AC is turned on, when the rear is turned on as well, the compressor keeps running and does not turn off and on???
Even when the rear is on the front air does not get cold, but the rear still gets cold???
Any one have any idea why the front wont get cold and why the compressor won't stay engaged when the rear is not on???
Any ideas on what this new problem might be?
Anyone know how much to replace these bushings (parts) or how much the dealer wants to gouge you to have them replaced?
I have a1996 Ford Windstar 3.8 doing the too lean in bank 1 and bank 2 ,we have
changed 3 oxygen sensors and still not corrected the problem. Did you ever find
out the mystery. I would appreciate if you could tell me where to begin looking.
Thanks Sick
3 oxygen sensors and now it is running too lean in bank 1 and bank 2. Does
anyone know where to begin looking.
I have the same problem with my van. The analyzed read the same codes as yours did. I was told that the oxygen sensors may be the problem. I changed one last week then cancelled the codes (banks one and two too lean). After 2 days, the check engine light came back on. I was told to keep changing one at a time and cancelling the codes until all are changed.
Please let me know if you were able to fix your problem somehow.
Thanks.
Ahmed.
P.S. I also heard that clogged fuel filter may cause the problem. I changed mine but it didn't solve the problem. I also heard that a bad spark plug could be the cause and I haven't changed mine yet.
Oil Pressure Light,
This light indicate the engine;s oil pressure, not the oil level. However, if your engines's oil level is low, it could affect the oil pressure. The light should come on every time you ignition key is turned to on or start, and shoulc go out when the engine starts. If the light stays on or turns on while the engine is running, you have lost oil pressure and continued operation will cause severe engine damage. Do not operate the engine if the light is on regardless of the oil level. Contact yournearest dealer for further service.
That is all that is says. I hope this will help you. When I have my van fixed next week, I will let you know what the problem I have was.
Esther
Thanks
YES the error code is the same and it will not go away.
My shuddering transmission goes in for a rebuild later this week, thank goodness for the extended warranty. :lemon:
It rained the other day and my 2001 Deadstar started sputtering. Error code 303.
New wires, plugs and tune up. ($221) Dry day OK. Rain yesterday. Sputtering today with a rapping and Check engine light on again. What kind of tree works the best and at what speed?
Where should I start to replace parts that are obviously getting wet and causing cylinder 3 to misfire?
Thanks :confuse:
I own a 96 windstar, 74,000 miles. I too smell the odor, even while stopped at traffic signals. Mechanics checked exhaust system and undercarriage and found no evidence of leaks in exhaust, antifreeze or oil. Has anyone provide you with help?
