Ford Windstar LX

"Spark plugs are typically designed to have a spark gap which can be adjusted by the technician installing the spark plug, by the simple mechanism of bending the ground electrode slightly to bring it closer to or further from the center electrode. The belief that plugs are properly gapped as delivered in their box from the factory is only partially true, as proved by the fact that the same plug may be specified for several different engines, requiring a different gap for each. It can depend on the engine: new spark plugs might be pre-gapped for a V-8 engine, installing all 8 plugs unchanged; however, for a 6-cylinder engine, all (6) plugs would be re-gapped." strait from wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_plug

blinking overdrive light indicates a transmission problem. take car to a transmission mechanic

More than likely you have a vacuum leak at one of more vacuum hose connections. Start the engine and spray all the connections with WD40. The instant you find the leak the engine RPMs will change. You can also use Starter Fluid but I hesitate to recommend it due to the volatility and possible chance of an explosion. WD40 is much safer to use.

Because the ECU on those shuts off the fuel when you let off the gas rather than just scaling back. Also could be bad idle controller, especially if it's surging. Check for vacuum leaks or leaks in the turbo also. It shouldn't bog down when you make it work, should get up and go. Probably your idle controller or your ECU. This sounds like the same issue i had with my 92 talon tsi and the first thing i did was checking for vacuum leaks and there were a couple but nothing changed, i figured out the idling issue was the idle position switch next to were you can rev up your engine under the hood. This can be fixed by adjusting the nut on it. When my talon was bogging down all i had to do was change the bad fuel filter and make sure there is no fuel leaks because that can cause the bogging too

The gauge could be bad, the fuel gauge sending unit in the gas tank as part fo the fuel pump could be bad you could have a bad ground wire you could have a broken wire in the harness runnign from the fuel tank to the gauge.

It should be in slot#9 of your fuse box (which should be located on the lower driver's side). This requires a fuse 30A. Good Luck!

FOUND ANSWER. IT WAS THE HAZARD BUTTON ON THE STEERING. A PIECE OF PLASTIC HAD BROKEN.

( if that's what you are asking ) Helpfull

No , the 3.8 liter V6 engine in a 2001 Ford Windstar has the Electronic

Distributorless Ignition System ( EDIS )

It has ( 1 ) coil pack that has ( 6 towers with 6 spark plug wires )

Owners manual, under the hood on a placard, or any parts store can provide this info. It will also depend on your ignition system, .035"

spark plug gap and emmisions info can be found under the hood somewhere. look for a sticker, or placard about 5 inch-by 5. this info is mandated by the feds to be in a conspicuous...(sp?)...spot in the engine compartment! tigertamer

There is a Technical Service Bulletin out for this issue. The fix is to loosen the trans mount on the driver's side and reposition it.

Don't know if this spec is for all brands, but for Bosch brand, it's .044"

check and make sure your firing order is right and that you have correct gap in spark plug

If the fuse blows even with nothing plugged into it, there is likely to be a dead-short in the lighter outlet itself.

Check a local auto parts or junk yard for a replacement - should be pretty inexpensive.

Check the GEO Trackers transmission fluid. The fluid could be low, or the fluid could show metal parts indicating a transmission problem causing the noise.

This is listed in your owners manual. If you don't have one, it should also be listed under the hood on a placard. When you purchase the plugs they are pre-gapped at the factory but it is still a good idea to check them. The parts store can also provide the correct gap.

I have a 2001 Honda Odyssey and have taken the van to the dealer to get the power door reset.... $50. There is apparently a breaker of some sort (not the electrical fuse) that causes the door to stop functioning if it has a problem opening or something causes it to stick when you try to open it. AVOID THE $50 CHARGE and the wasted time of having this "repaired". To reset, I tried both of these suggestions below at the same time. I found these elsewhere online... not sure which worked, but the door is working again without a trip to the mechanic. Posts elsewhere indicated that this worked on both 2000 and 2001 Honda Odyssey vans.

Suggestion #1

1.) Disable the power door switch on the left dashboard.

2.) Remove the power door fuses located under the front passenger leg area.

3.) Manually open and close both sliding doors.

4.) Restore the power door fuses located under the front passenger leg area.

5.) Enable the power door switch on the left dashboard.

6.) Try opening the sliding doors.

Suggestion #2

Remove fuse #13 (clock) for 30 seconds or more from the passenger side fusebox. This will reset the door and the clock.

Unless there's more information to work with to understanding the nature of what is wrong with the axle, it's really hard to estimate what a repair would cost.

Edit the question to include more specific details will help others here to be able to provide relevant answers/information.
