Is your floor wet damp carpet? Does the smell kinda smell sweet or like maple syrup? If so your heater core is leaking. Your heater core is up under ur dash inside the van onthe firewall

Heater core or one of the hoses are leaking. Low on antifreeze now so no heat.

The codes are lean fuel condition for both banks. A very common problem with this engine that will set these codes are the upper & lower intake gaskets. You may experience a rough or rolling idle at cold start up and the condition will go away as the engine warms up. If you have checked all the basics such as vacuum leaks or air inlet leaks between the air filter box and the throttle body, then I would consider replacing these intake gaskets. Good Luck and please leave rating. Thanks

SOURCE: my ford truck smells of antifreeze?

More than likely the heater core has a leak. Soon your windows will begin to fog up as the leak gets worse. If you pull the carpet or floor mat back away from the heater outlet under the dash you may see the insulation mat is wet or damp with anti-freeze.
I would suggest having a coolant system pressure test performed to verify the leaks location, however if you can smell it in the cab its a real high probability the heater core has sprung a leak.
Good luck,
Regards,

1998 Expedition: 2000 Ford Expedition I smell antifreeze with heate...

If you smell antifreeze it may be 3 possibilities: 1. you may have a leaking hose/hose connector , or water pump. 2. your heater core is bad and needs replaced. Unless you know what you are doing I would highly suggest taking to dealer for heater core replacement. The dash and steering colum has to be removed to get to the heater core. This is not an easy job believe me (about-900-1200 job). If you have your heater core replaced then also replace the climate control door. This is good preventative maintenance and also a a dollar saver. I would have a pressure check run on your radiator as a first thought. All you may have is a bad hose and that can easily be replaced.

2003 winstar no heat

Check the operation of the temperature control door. It is located in the center of the dash behind the radio. Look up between the gas pedal and heater case. It is white in color Move the temp knob while watching the actuator. If it is clicking it is bad. Good luck.

Ford Winstar ain't startin'

Yes the alternator you installed is fried. Take it back and then when you put the new one in disconnect the battery first before installing. If the battery is connected while installing it will ALWAYS fry the alternator. Most parts guys don't tell you that so live and learn. This should help.
