Air conditioning/Check Engine light in 2001 Ford Windstar

Is the check engine light on? I really need more info on your veh. Eng. size, etc. You might have a look at the cold air intake tube, It could have a crack in it or be loose where it mounts to throttle body or air cleaner( could be drawing cold air in where it's not suppose to)If you can get me more details we can get to the bottom of your troubles, Hope this helps, Randy 6/2/15 Hi Shannon, Ok you had it checked and they said it was a sensor, If you can get me that code# we may be able to get to the bottom of your problem. Also just a little advise, I have been a mechanic for 40 years when it comes to Drivability Problems(check engine light) Please don't take your vehicle to AutoZone or any other "PARTS" store that calms to be able to diagnose your check engine light, Remember what they do, they sell parts....95% of the time the check engine light comes on is because of a emission related problem, meaning fuel related, ignition related, timing related. And some of these can be extremely costly to your engine, RE: Catastrophic engine failure. 1 injector or even a coil on plug going bad can destroy your engine, The auto parts store don't have the knowledge or tech. training to diagnose Drivability problems. They will read codes with a code reader not a scanner and then give you a piece of paper on how to repair it. Drivability techs spend yrs of training and money to diagnose these problems in todays cars. Just a little piece of mind take it to an expert.

Have the diagnostics code pulled. It will tell you why the check engine light is on and what systems to check.

the fuel pump relay is weak

I had this problem and noticed a faint clunking sound behind the radio. It was the blend door motor that needed to be replaced. The motor has small fine tooth plastic gears that wear out and won't open to allow heat.

The check engine light should be on--rent a scanner, read any code(s), and pursue to repair(s). The O2 sensor has direct control over fuel/air ratio. The other sensors in the air intake system modify these settings for peak performance under varying conditions.

have your idle speed sensor cleaned,also checkd the air flow sensor located in the air cleaner housing,you best bet is to have it scanned for PCM soft codes(codes that wont turn on the check engine light on)

We had the same problem but when we put in a new fuse it smoked. It turned out to be something with the master cylinder and required the changing of a 20 dollar part by the mechanic and problem solved

Stop running the engine. Check the engine oil level. It should have a yellow colored handle, pull it out and check at the bottom of the stick for oil. If it is within the range on the dipstick, you need some engine work done. If you don't have any oil on the stick, or it is lower than the range, just add more oil, a little at a time until you get it back within range.

i get the engine light on with code p1538 on ford windstar 1997,please tell me what happen and how to solve this problem.thanks

my 2001 Ford Windstar blows smoke and heavy drops of oil out the exaust, and usually only does it when it is cold and you first start it. The oil level in the crank case runs all out in two days and have to add four quarts of oil. What do you think the problem is?
