About: 2000 Ford Windstar
is my problem my engine?

I have a 2000 ford windstar lx. it use to be a good van. but now it is haveing a problem. a bad one. it all started about a year ago. it was guzzling gas. i was told oxygen sensor. we replaced those. 3 times. and then they told me catilac converter. had that checked and its not that. they then told me that i had a misfire on 2 blocks. that it was firing on 4 cylinders. no one seems to know why. or can pin point it but ford. and they want to charge out the butt to find out just the one answer. what it is and how much to fix it? the van has over 120,000 miles on it. Should I trade it in while i can? or can this be fixed? is it the motor?

Hello,
It seems like this van is costing you more money than it is worth.  I had a friend who had a Taurus, and the same thing happened to her.  She traded hers in for a Camry.  Some cars are just problem cars, and it sounds like it might be a good idea to get rid of yours while you still can.
Sorry, and I hope it works out!
