Un believable the amount of work it took just to get the intake manifold off. FORD SUCKS. They have a tube that runs all the way through the intake for cooling. One just couldn't take the bolts out and lift it out noooooooooooooooooo Had to take off all kinda chit so i could slide the intake sideways to get this damn tube out. Its like 14" long. Crazy.....Anyway I am pretty sure its the gaskets. They were oil and water soaked on both sides. That damn orange dex cool, eats up the rubber parts of gaskets... Nothing like keeping their mechanics in work. Total bullchitski.........

Took 3 hours just to get the intake off.........


And all the vacuum lines, everywhere. I watched a few vids and the windstar is really prone to vacuum leaks and throwing codes..
