My 2000 Villager had the same problems, turned out the distributor was bad - not sure if it was the cam shaft sensor, the power transistor or the bearings giving out in the distributor. Replaced it and all was good. Check with a timing light while cold and when the engine starts to fail. I also found some broken metal pieces in the distributor.

also check for clogged catalytic converter. remove the front o2 sensor. drive van with sensor removed. if problem goes away, your catalytic converter is probably the problem. go to local auto parts store and ask them to scan the OBD. they will do it for free. dealer charges about $80. some sensors will turn on service engine light and some will not. the knock sensor will not turn on service engine light, but if it is malfunctioning the OBD scan will retrieve a code. I had the exact same problem with my 1993 Villager and I went to 6 diferrent garages paid for diagnostic scans, paid hour after hour of shop time. No one could figure it out. Including Ford and spent a fortune trying to cure the problem. Changed the O2 sensor, wires and and plugs, etc. etc. It was very frustrating. A backyard mechanic finally found the problem (brilliant man)and it cost me no new parts just a cup of coffee for my friend. MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR was dirty. It is a small part located under the hood up near the windshield. It is square. When you unscrew the small screw holding it on you lift the top part off. There is a small wire (looks like a guitar string) in there. Mine didn't need to be replaced it was dirty. Looked like a dust build up. My buddy cleared it off by a quick blow with an air compressor. DO NOT TOUCH the wire, I don't know if touching it will harm it. But remember to be gentle after all it is a sensor. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!

Did Romans make toilets on the side of the road?

No. Roman toilets required, as ours do, running water. This was not possible at roadside. If nature called, they "used the bushes".No. Roman toilets required, as ours do, running water.

How often should teenagers work out?

A teenager should exercise just as much as an adult should, which is 60 minutes a day. 30 of these said minutes can be spent simply walking to class in school. But then you need another 30 minutes of hard exercise that will keep your heart pumping. That could be running, swimming, playing sports like soccer or basketball. You should do this every single day.

Fuel pump makes noise when the engine is idling on 1994 mercury villager?

I'll bet the fuel pump makes noise when the engine is running on the road too. You just can't hear it then. It's possible you have a bearing getting ready to seize up. I think I would replace the fuel pump now before it leaves you walking.

Why is your 1997 mercury villager running worse after spark plug change?

Is it running rough? I am wiling to bet you need to replace the plugs/wires. The roughness you experience is the sparking or arching with old plugs/wires. They cost about $45. Use a light coating of bulb grease on the ends of the the new wires, and replace them in the right order.
