1996 Ford Windstar review from North America

This is to all those Windstar owners who are spending their hard earned money on that stupid check engine light. Mine came on and continued to be on for a year until finally it ran really rough. The solution turned out to be simple. The problem was a vacuum leak!! I have the 3.8 and there is a vacuum line that goes from the PCV valve right next to the throttle body on the upper plenum. There is a 90 degree elbow made from the cheapest rubber imaginable which breaks down thus creating a vacuum leak. Replace the elbow or duct tape it, unhook your battery for a half an hour then hook it back up to reboot the brain and voila!!
