Re: low rpms and

Welcome to the forum!

The first things to check are the usuals:

Dirty IAC valve. Here's a link about how to clean it: http://leckemby.net/windstar/windstar02.html

Faulty/dirty MAF sensor.- to check this unplug the connector to the MAF sensor and see if the van runs better. Give it a clean with MAF cleaner.

Vacuum leaks.- Check all hoses around the intake for rotted/cracked rubber hoses.

Fuel pressure.- you'll need a fuel pressure tester connected to the fuel rail under the IAC valve Key On/Engine off should be 30-45PSI; Key On/Engine Running 28-45PSI.

Best regards,

Oscar.
