Searles, what is the 8th character in the vin number? (u or 4). The reason I ask is because the upper intake to me looks like that of a 3.8 engine. Very possible that I am wrong and I am meaning no offense by asking this question. I have a 98 with a 3.0 and it looks different.
When your friend listened with the stethoscope did he listen to the engine lower end from under the vehicle against the oil pan??? IN my opiniion the more I listen to the video the more it sounds like a bad rod bearing to me. (Hopefully I am wrong).

U. I have the 3.0. From what I understand, 97-8 had a different engine in some ways. I have a 2000 3.0l.
That is interesting you think it is a bad rod bearing. I wonder if over time, people will keep changing their mind to that.
He listened to most of the top, and then the side. No noise from the bottom at all, neither from the rod or anything else. Misfiring, and then the noise from the upper part near cylinder 1.
I had a long list of windstars at the junk yard yesterday. I picked two parts from a 1999 windstar, and not one of the cars had a veci label-they'd all been removed.
Up here, Autozone had both sensors for 67-78 dollars per. Down, In ABQ, the sensors were 24 and 19, respectively. The kid, really sharp, showed me the pics, and they were different from what the parts I had stated, and the parts were both fro ma '97. They therefore would not work. I can get a credit for them, but...that seems strange the VECI labels would be removed, and the stickers on the cars were wrong , too. The sensors cost me, instead of 10$, 14 and 17. I had called on that too, beforehand. They also inflated the prices from the last time when I went there, and a quote was 20$ on a door hinge. Wow, that is different from the 5$ I paid a month ago.
It is really cold here, so I am going to wait until after lunch and then put both sensors on the car.
