Car Forum / Ford / Ford Cars / August 2008windstar IAC
99 Windstar 125k Isnt the IAC the cause of most of these windstars either hard start or poor idle at start problems? I've got the same old problems again that I've temporarily fixed with cleaning it before but I think I'm finally going to just replace it, just wanted to check before before I plunk down the $80. Any tests on it that can be done with a multimeter? I do have the factory manual on cd, just need to get around to installing that too. 99 Windstar 125k > 99 Windstar 125k > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > 99 Windstar 125k From what I've experienced, you're correct. Cleaning it just postpones the inevitable. If you have the 3.0L, you can get one from rock auto for less than $70 (I like the Motorcraft brand- lasted longer for me). The 3.8L is higher. Good luck! SC Tom thanks, its the 3.8, rockauto has the motorcraft for $84, local parts stores want $130 for some other brand. > 99 Windstar 125k > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > 99 Windstar 125k From what I understand, the IAC *CANNOT* be checked with a multimeter. But, they are prone to failure on Crown Vics and Marquis. (mine is probably going, every few days my car loses Idle for a couple of minutes) >> 99 Windstar 125k >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > But, they are prone to failure on Crown Vics and Marquis.

I've put 3 in my Contour. ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** >>> 99 Windstar 125k >>> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > 90s Ford IACs are troublesome. I've put 3 in my Contour. Don't get me started on my Contour :) Biggest POS I've ever owned. Tranny failed (twice), head cracked, doors wouldn't open in the winter, gas door *could* get opened using the failsafe thingy in the trunk... > ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** >>>> 99 Windstar 125k >>>> [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > >> ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** Mine was the most reliable car I've owned. Had it 10 years, sold it last weekend. But it did go through a few parts in the time. 3 IACs, 2 coil packs, both front wheel bearings, but that was all. mg ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |
