Re: 2003 3.8l, Codes 171 & 301

If you are suspecting a fuel injector, I would recommend getting a can of Berryman's B-12 Chemtool and adding it to the gasoline tank.
This will clean the injectors.
The fuel injectors on the windstar are very reliable, but on the older ones.....like my '96, they can build up a deposit of crud inside the end cap.
The berryman's is the only product that I have found that cleans this deposit.
I don't think that the later years had the same problem as my '96, but any fuel injector can get dirty.....and the berryman's will clean them up nicely.
