Re: accent flooding

No, it's not the coolant sensor. Probably 2 different problems not related.

Check oil, to see if it has gasoline present with the odor test. Check cylinder compression, it's often bad piston rings. Have you used injector cleaner? Don't use.

Check also antifreeze color. If it's brown, it's bad sign.

Check upstream oxygen sensor, injectors, MAF & MAP sensor, PCM, sparks, vaccum leak, IAT.

It can be a lot of things that cause this common problem.

A Windstar without having the check engine light is not a real Windstar.
