What does a sensor on a Windstar do?
These exhaust gases contain contaminates. The sensor’s job is to monitor the contents of the exhaust and send the information to the Windstar’s computer. The computer can then adjust the air-to-fuel ratio to optimize the fuel consumption and power output of the Windstar.
What are the fault codes on a Ford Windstar?
This 2003 Ford Windstar came in with the service engine soon light on. Checking code revealed codes P0171 and P0174, banks 1 and 2 lean. I checked for vacuum leaks and none were found so I moved on to the Mass Air Flow sensor. It is common for them to get dirty and cause these fault codes.

Why is my transmission slipping on my 1998 Windstar?
Not sure what to do next other than scrap the car. Our 1998 Windstar transmission began slipping about 4 weeks ago. It happens when we are accelerating from a stop, the engine revs as if the transmission is in neutral. If we back of the accelerator and try again, the transmission catches and goes fine.
How often do you change transmission fluid in a Ford Windstar?
The transmission fluid level is fine, and the transmission fluid is not burnt. We’ve had the transmission fluid changed every 30,000 miles. The van has 145,000 miles on it now. Two mechanics diagnosed the problem as slipping clutches in the transmission. They both wanted $1650 to rebuild the transmission.
What kind of transmission does a Windstar have?
I own a 1999 Ford Windstar Lx 3.8l V-6 with just over 98,000 miles. The transmission has not given me any problems what so ever, then all the sudden driving home the other night it just lost power to the wheels. The RPM’s went up and the speedo went down. The shift linkage is just fine. Anyone with any ideas please let me know.
