Experts,
For the past few weeks my 2000 Ford Windstar 3.8 liter seems to be guzzling gas. Currently in work on figuring current mpg but I know the guage is dropping alot faster than normal. It also seems a little more sluggish than the past. I have a scanner and have no codes. Can you take a look at the info the scanner provides matched against other Windstars you have worked on? Any help on analyzing this would be greatly appreciated.
