2002 windstar missing Sign In
02 windstar 3.8 has a miss at low speed and not a lot of power. it is getting 5 mpg. I have replaced plugs, wires, coil, oxygen sensors and cleaned injectors. Compression test 160 to 170 on all cylinders. I also replaced the harmonic balancer and sensor because it had a viabration. that is ok now. No engine light on. rechecked wiring and firing order. it is wired according to what I can find on the internet. scratching my head

If it's actually a misfire the computer will track it. You need to use a professional scan tool to determine which cylinder, if any has a problem.

if you have a windstar without an engine light on you have a collectors item..those 3.8's had a ton of headgasket problems...are you having to add coolant ?
