My Windstar 95 when temperature dropped below freezing, takes much longer to start an engine. Usually it took 2-3 sec to start the engine after starter was turned on, now it takes 5-10 sec.
What are the most common reason for this? I am afraid that in January things get worse when the temperature falls much lower (Eastern Ontario - Canada). The battery was changed last year.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Wes
what's the fuel pressure ?
windstars are bad for fuel pumps getting marginal
Thanks for the answer. I do not know, since I am not a mechanic (just doing simple repairs as brakes, electrical, and so). What I can try, is to replace a fuel pump, after considering the price and the effort level. I do not have any specialized equipment to measure the fuel pressure.
When I lived in cold country, I used to replace plugs at least every other year. If they aren't in near-new condition it will make for hard starting.
go to cdn tire and get fuek injector cleaner. pour it in. i find my 96 windstar gets hard to start sometimes. i've had it since new and this fix works every time. ...thehick
