I just did my second set on my 2001 yesterday.
First, at least in my book: take the cowl off!
I've done this both ways and trust me, with the cowl off, the job gets a whole heckavalot easier!
I did a detailed write-up on getting the cowl off - See "Related Questions" below.
For years I said "do them one-at-a-time", with bold and italics.
But yesterday, I found when replacing the wires, it was easier to remove the back bank of 3 wires and transfer all the wire supports / looms with everything laid out on the workbench. Did the same thing then when doing the fronts.
If you're going to do that: label the wires! Don't mess up the firing order...
Otherwise, read through the "Related Questions" below for other ideas and suggestions.
One last thing: I went with the Autolite XP105 - xp indicating the "iridium" plugs, reputed to have a longer service life. $6.50 at Autozone along with their Duralast wire-set for $23.
Okay, one more last thing... Check out the pcv valve while you're back there - not just the plug, but also the condition of the hoses.

Is this a trick question ( as far as I know the last model year of the Ford Windstar was 2003 )
The most common reason for a vehicle to run rough when it is cold is bad spark plugs or bad spark plug wires. Change the spark plugs and spark plug wires.
