Re: New coil; still missing/bucking; '99 3.8L
You said that you checked obvious vacuum leak. You mean vacuum hoses? Cause it can coming from the inside of intake manifold too. Use a vacuum gauge tester.
I remember someone get exactly the same problem as you describe with a 2000 Windstar. It was the PCM in his case. Because these kind of symptoms are frequents, I can't guarantee that it's the PCM.
BTW, try to avoid up hills at most, they are very bad for the auto transaxle.
And always climb it w/o the overdrive.

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