Re: '98 Ford Windstar stalled when switching from reverse to drive

Another thing to look for is the condition of your engine harness. Once our Fords gets some mega-miles, the insulation is often worn at the various connectors about the engine compartment. As the engine heaves as we go from drive to revers, or just braking, ... we may lose a signal for an engine/cam/crank sensor. This can be enough to snuff out the engine unless the revs are high.

Often a bit of clear RTV will strengthen the harnesses near the connectors.
