problem #2

Jan 152008

Windstar 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 25,000 miles
Getting lean code P0171 and P0174. Dealer analyzed and from what I can tell it's tsb 03-16-1 (NHTSA sb# 16920) I have searched the internet (as you can) and it's a widespread problem (I know 2 other people personally who may have it). It is my belief that there should have been (or should be) a recall on this defect. In my case, the van will lose RPM's, then "rev" up on cold startup. When it does this, the van executes a "jerking" motion which to me could be dangerous. In other cases, it will stall or nearly stall at traffic lights.
