Re: 96 Windstar engine miss under load
Thanks for the help wiswind. I appreciate the ideas but I got it fixed!!!
The problem was...fuel pump.
I wasn't getting any CEL codes so that got me thinking that it had to be something outside the OBD-II system. I believe the fuel pump is not covered by the OBD.
I mentioned earlier that the pump used to be noisy but was quiet now since the problem started. I think whatever was making the noise must have broken.
BTW, I need to kill the guy that thought up the locking ring that holds the fuel pump assembly. That thing was brutal to remove and reinstall. Would a few bolts have been too much trouble?
The van has 175K on it now and I should be able to wring another 100K out of it. It now has new plugs, wires, coil, air filter, fuel filter, fuel pump, brakes, tires, and a rebuilt tranny (the old one exploded a few weeks after I bought the van but that's another story).
I should be good to go but I'll keep this site bookmarked for the future.
It was a complete pain of a job to do but it's done and after a quick test drive, the van runs great.
