Plugged fuel filter? Plugged air filter? Loose timing chain? Plugged catalytic converter?
Try this solution. http://www.leckemby.net/windstar/windstar01.html It seems that Windstars have a problem with the intake manifold.
A faulty fuel injector can cause your Ford Windstar to run rough and feel like it's going to stall. A dirty or plugged air filter can also cause the vehicle to stall.
Go to a parts store and buy a can of CRC MAF cleaner. Clean the MAF sensor.
Check fuel pressure.
There are a few reasons why this car would lose power and stall while the AC is on. This could be due to worn out belts along with a fuel pump or fuel filter needed to be replaced.
get an engine diagnostic check, a lot of different problems can contribute to your situation.
stall and surge is caused when the flow in the compressor loses enthalpy and static energy so that it does not have enough power to approach the end of the axis; thus it remains in the annolus of the compressor and creates a stall cell. these cells gradually join each other and create stall zones which are rotating about the axis and are some times called rotating stall. if this stage does not get stopped, the stall cells will cover the whole annolus and will stop the fluid flow through the stages of the compressor and finally lead to surge. if surge happens, the compressor will be out of order.
yes, but it will make th engine stall and knock like craise
The engine may not initially get enough power due to a dirty air filter. The fuel filter can also cause the same problem.
A serious vacuum leak could cause that.
My van has been doing the same thing. I was told it needs a valve job. My van also loses power and it takes a long time before it can pick up any speed.
no
