Re: 2000 Windstar Chugging at Idle
AHAA!
I found that a vacuum tube coming from the firewall was off the engine and when I put it back it runs better, but not perfectly. It still chugs ever so slightly, but it doesn't stall anymore. I must have knocked it off putting the cowling back on? I read that this tube was supposed to have a clamp on it, but mine doesn't. Maybe that's why it fell off?
Anyway the tube is very dry, cracked and brittle and I assume it's leaking just enough to continue the slight chugging. So I want to replace it, but I can't figure what it's called or what exactly it does.
It's a rather large vacuum tube running from a switch/regulator? mounted on the firewall. It connects to the engine just below the IAC, though it doesn't seem to be part of the IAC. I have a Haynes book but there's really no reference to it that I been able to find. Vacuum diagram on the car doesn't really ID it either.
I just need to know what part to ask for at the store or dealership.
Thanks again
