98 windstar 3.8 problems - CarGurus

My first question is - is the check engine light on? If it is you should have trouble codes stored in the computer that would help direct you to what you should test.
If not, it may be tough to figure out until the problem is constant. Most anything electrical can cause the symptom you describe. Heat, moisture, and fatigue can play a role in the problem.

Look for vacuum lines of and might be time for a tune up. Plugs, wires

It could be any one of a number of things:-
Exhaust system
Anti roll bar on front suspension
Stabilising arms
gear linkages
Wishbone joints
ball joints
rear suspension linkages
shock absorbers
engine or gearbox mounts.
flat spots on wheels

Try figure out if the noise only happens under certain circumstances like road surfaces or wheel speeds or engine speeds, and try narrow down the source.

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.

O2 sensors are getting bad. It's known problem. Those sensors last about 20-30K no more.

do a visual on your fuel line see if it is close to a hot spot like exhaust manafold if so wrap it in heat resistant covering i'm sure you can get it at the auto parts store.
