My wife just got a '97 Ford Windstar (for her daycare, she needed something with lots of seats for all the kiddies). It's the V6 model, and the "CHECK ENGINE" light has been coming on, and then going to flashing. I looked it up in the manual, and it says a flashing check engine light may be associated with a misfire. Well, when the light starts flashing, the engine starts to run really strangely, like it's missing a cylinder. It gets very chuggy, and doesn't have much power until you get out of the low end, and then it's pretty much normal. The idle also flucutates a lot in a small range, and you can feel the engine bouncing.
Since I know JACK SHIT about Fords, I was hoping maybe someone here can point me in the right direction of getting it fixed. Do I maybe just need to do the usual plugs/cap/rotor tune-up, or is it something more serious?
PS - Don't fill this thread with a bunch of Ford-flaming bullshit. I'm not interested.
