Probably not, a 2001 Windstar usually has hydraulic lifters that never need adjusting it could be a bad valve spring, or a bad lifter that will need to be replaced.

How do you tell if you self ajusting slack ajusters are wore out?

Vague question.. If you are asking about self adjusting valve lifters, here you go. Lifters that are wearing will begin emitting a slight ticking noise with the engine running.. Somewhat louder when cold, then lessening as the engine warms up due to the expension of the metal parts. When the lifters are extremely worn, a loud "clacking" noise can be heard with the engine running.. In most cases the lifter internal oil check valve is either dirty or worn.. In some instances, the bottom of the lifters can become concave with high mileage engines which also indicates a worn out camshaft.
