I can drive my 96 ford windstar for about 1 hour and it will just die going down the road and we have to let it cool off for about 1 hour before it will go again.

Sounds like a bad crankshaft position sensor to me. Those often go bad without setting any codes.

Any time there is a code that says "too lean" then that means there is not enough fuel that is going into the cylinder to make it combust. This is very dangerous to the engine! There are a few things that cause this. (1) The fuel injectors are clogged and need to be cleaned or replaced. (2) the fuel pump is starting to die and needs to be replaced. The best thing to do is get fuel injection cleaner and put it in the gas tank when you fill up and see if that helps. If it still persists then replacing the injectors would be the best way to go next. I hope this gives you a better idea what to do!

Have a good one!

Sounds like the alternator has bad diodes. Does it then start back up?

mine is doing the same thing I have had it in 3 times and not had a solution yet. Mine even stalls while I'm driving.

sounds like your voltage regulator is faulty get it checked by an auto elec

try replacing the fuel pump reley
