the windstars are know for intake manifold leaking it could also be radiator or water pump you need to try to locate the leak or have it pressure tested to know for sure
that is normal I have three fords in my driveway including a 99 Windstar and they all do it. ======================================================== Just adding to the answer ( once the doors are locked )
( NO ) with the engine cool
A slight possibility but not likely
I recently replaced the battery in our 1998 Windstar and did not keep the electrical system connected during the changeover. No issues afterwards.
Sounds like a leak.
I've known two people that had 1995 Ford Windstars and they both complained about the amount of repairs that they had to do to keep using them , and yet I'm still driving my 1995 Ford Explorer and have been very satisfied with it
On average, I would suggest 1-5 seconds - a second try is normal too.
I had a 95 3.8L that leaked and stop leak worked for a little while. The problem is as it gets worse it can leak antifreeze internally into the oil. This is at best a short term fix. If you use it keep a close eye on your oil level, if it starts rising or becomes milky the gasket will need to be replaced immediately. MGL
The purpose of antifreeze in cars is to keep the engine from freezing in cold weather.
what would make a 2000 ford windstar die out at stop lights and you have to put your foot on the brake and gas at the same time to keep it running and it sputters and jerks.
I have a 02 buick rendezvous mine would blow a lil heat but never would get hot. We had it checked it was the thremostat, that is what was wrong with mine. They told me there is three things it could have been , it could be low on antifreeze , thremostat, or if you have to keep adding antifreeze often then it is your heater core.
Each sliding door has their own motor. Disconnect the wiring to the little motor inside the door you want disabled.
