I have 2 of these Windstar clunkers.
The bucking on mine came from the ignition module that the plug wires plug into...easy replacement.
The engine light coule be many things...you need a reader...go to Advance Auto and let them extract the code which tells you the problem.
If like all the rest it will be the isolatore bolts that hold the plenum onto the top of the engine are leaking. Another Ford bad engineering decision. They specified the wrong rubber! this is a problem with all 1998 -2003 windstars
