- The first place to try is the throttle body. The throttle body is located on the front of the engine, and it controls airflow into the engine. Spray a few quick bursts of starting fluid into the throttle body while cranking the engine. If the engine starts, you know that this was the problem.
- If spraying starting fluid into the throttle body doesn't work, you can try spraying it into the air intake hose. The air intake hose is also located on the front of the engine, and it connects the air filter to the engine. Spray a few quick bursts of starting fluid into the air intake hose while cranking the engine. If the engine starts, you know that this was the problem.
- If neither of those methods works, you can try spraying starting fluid directly into the cylinders. To do this, you will need to remove the spark plugs. Once the spark plugs are removed, spray a few quick bursts of starting fluid into each cylinder. Be sure to replace the spark plugs before cranking the engine.
If none of these methods work, then you may have a more serious problem with your 1995 Windstar and you should take it to a mechanic for further diagnosis.
Here are some additional tips for using starting fluid:
- Always use starting fluid in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid spraying starting fluid near any open flames or sparks.
- Do not spray starting fluid directly into the carburetor or intake manifold.
- Only use starting fluid for a few seconds at a time. Using too much starting fluid can damage the engine.
