I'm posting based on what my husband has worked on. We have a 2001 Windstar. He believed we "blew the engine." We heard a whistling engine noise before he felt some pop in his accelerator; immediately no power, water leaking out of what appeared to be the intake gasket. The engine never over heated, we remained in the middle heat range the engine is always in, no white smoke in either idle or rev. DH opened the engine, replaced all head gaskets, upper and lower, replaced valve cover gaskets, checked compression on each, head was not cracked, replaced spark plug wires, made sure fuel injectors were clean, put it all back together. Still have water coming out the back side of the engine must be "close to the intake gasket where we have some of those weird aluminum ford special tubes" and we are still missing on atleast 2 cylinders. Incidental to this, an undiagnosable by all the good shade tree guys we know, on drizzly days where its not really raining but the air and ground are completely wet, this engine misfires. Any ideas?
