| 1998 Ford Windstar Trouble CodesMy 1998 Ford Windstar, 3.8L V6 has been getting trouble codes "1537 and 1538". What parts (sensors) would be needed to correct this? I believe sensors are needed because it is not "breathing" as freely as it used to.Thanks ... Ron |

| My 1998 ford windstar has a code 1537. How much does it cost to repair this problem? |
| parked my windstar came back and tried to start no go. Garage said no fuel so replaced fuel pump. Now the idle is sitting around 2000 to 25000 rpm. Garage said they did nothing that should cuase this. I just don't know. Never had that problem before now driving it is like driving with cruise control on all the time. Another mech unplugged a "motor" right where the air intake comes into the intake manifold (I think) is localed. Idle did drop to about 600 rpm. normal.. What is going on? hard to drive in town as it wants to run away on me. Does idle down at a stop sign but won't stay down. wants to jump back up to 2500 3000 rpm??????? any one have any ideas what this garage might have done to cause this? |

| trouble code no po171 1998 ford 3.8.liter moter |
| So I bought a 1998 ford winstar 3.8, not knowing it is a pos from ford, got it home and the trouble started, first the IMRC went out this is the intake manifold runner control ( basically it controls the amount of air the injectors get ) without it the motor runs like crap. It was $75.00 it took about an hour to put in, now I have a misfire on cyclinder 3, The coil tested fine the plug and wires have been replaced, time to replace or clean the injector, if that does not work then the dump it goes. By the wat the camshaft / crankshaft sensor is behind the crankshaft pully which requires a huge amount of time and tools to replace it and on a scale of 1 to 10 it is about a 9.5 being a bitch, to bad ford doesn't seem to care about the quality of there products any more, I will never buy another ford product again. |
| Roy the to lean is the IMRC there are two side by side behind and just to the left of the altinator a left hand and a right hand |
