My nanny drives a 2000 Ford Windstar minivan, and sometimes it doesn't start, as if it is not getting any gas. We took it to the mechanic, but could not find anything wrong. The battery is good, the starter is good, starter celenoid (sp?) is good, fuel pump good, and the fuel filter was changed. I insist that the nanny uses 91 octane gasoline sold at reputable stations (chevron, shell, etc.). The starting problem is a concern for me because the nanny picks up my daughters at school, and takes them to ballet lessons, etc.
The starting problem is a mystery to me. The most difficult thing is that this doesn't happen all the time. Just occasionally. Someone suggested that we should not let the gas tank get under half full. Well, the tank was over half full when the van wouldn't start the last time. I have read that there was a recall having to do with the fuel lines. Could this have something to do with it?
Your responses are appreciated.
