Asked by Pam1971 Sep 30, 2015 at 07:45 PM about the 2001 Ford Windstar

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Check Fuel Cap light came on. Cap was fine. Was on for a couple days. Then
started running rough. Idling at around 700 RPM and missing. Thought had
bad gas, so added fuel additive/injector cleaner to next tank of high octane
gas. Still running rough. Plugs looked fine.

Could be a dirty Idle Air Control valve or a dirty Mass Air Flow sensor. You can buy spray cleaner for each. Go to Youtube for instructional videos.
