Ford Windstar Introduced in the mid-1990s, the front-wheel-drive Ford Windstar minivan campaigned with an emphasis on, and reputation for, safety. And in the hotly contested family minivan market of the time, that was an especially solid piece of ground to be on. As long as buyers didn't need to haul adults in back on a regular basis, the Windstar served a family's needs just fine.

Question Might have an answer.

Not sure but try testing all your coils and see if they are doing the same thing. If they are then it is called waste spark. Instead of only one side of the coil firing for the cylinder that has fuel, both will fire at the same time. My neighbor use to work for the local chevy dealer garage and he told me about the waste spark systems. Hope this helps.
