Question i have several problems but the biggest is that the vehicle won't turn-over. it
starts but will not stay on. when running previously, thick white smoke would
come out and would not stop until about 10 mins into drive. please let me
know what this is..
also, how much would a compressor cost to buy and install in a '99 ford
windstar, xle (garage rates)? i need my van for work. thank you.
Answer If that's a 2.8 V-6 you have, it sounds like blown Head Gaskets, which those Motors were notorious for. Only a physical inspection, by an A.S.E. certified Mechanic, will determine if that is indeed the problem. Be prepared to spend around $700.00-$1,000.00 for the work, possibly more, if the determination comes back that the problem is blown 'Head Gaskets.'
