problem #2

2009May 20

Windstar SE 3.8L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 77,000 miles

Problem was engine shuddering while warming up, but ran fine once warm. Part of TSB repair for defective Lower Intake Manifold Isolator bolts and gasket. I fixed this myself thanks the extensive help at http://leckemby.net/windstar/windstar01.html. Engine runs fine post repair and mpg went up 5%. As other have noted, this van is not the most durable- our's has had extensive repairs under warranty (A/C compressor, Alternator, side mirror motor, driver's window motor, power steering unit, flickering dome light, and VCR unit were all replaced/fixed).
