Best Answer

The vehicle will surge at idle because of the vacuum leak. If the PCV valve has come apart it will take you 2 seconds to inspect. Just remove it, turn it upside down and look at it. If the spring loaded valve is gone, it has come apart. Try lowing through it one direction, then the other. It should flow fairly easily one way, but should feel somewhat restricted the other way.

How do you change a blend door actuator on a 2000 ford windstar van?

Before replacing the thermostat or any other component of the Windstar's HVAC system, be sure to check your blend door for functionality FIRST. The most common issue with heat or A/C in the late model Ford windstar is a broken blend door. A broken blend door actuator is almost as common as a broken blend door itself. Typically, the fix requires disassembling the entire dash and replacing the whole plenum box, which can be a costly repair.
