I agree with the EGR ports, etc....I cleaned mine for the first time at about 137K miles.
I would expect with TLC, (as any car requires for long life) your Windstar will serve you well.
Please post back with any problems that you may have....as there is a pretty good chance that someone else has had the same problem.

With your '98, you have a different upper intake manifold than the '99 and later years have.....and so the TSB for the isolator bolts does not apply to us with the older Windstars......the upper intake manifold that they used on the '96 through '98 years is a pretty rugged design.
