2002 Ford Windstar Starts then Dies

I have a problem that seems hard to figure out what it is.
I have a 2002 Ford Windstar that I have no problem starting in the Morning on the way to work.
It starts fine after work. The problem is when I drive it for a little while like for 10 minutes and then turn it off. THen go back to start in 5 to 10 minutes it starts up then putters right out. If I wait for an hour or so and go back to try to start it most of the time it starts right up as if there wasn’t a problem.

It doesn’t do it all the time but it is becoming more frequently.
SO it only seems to happen when the car is warm.

You have a component under the hood becoming heat sensitive. Typically, that’d suggest a coil, an igniter, or even a relay.

Kill it with fire - it’s a Windstar - you’d be doing it a favor :stuck_out_tongue:

(I actually like Fords, but there is no excuse for the Windstar, IMO).

Seriously, though, in addition to mountainbike’s comments, I’d add that I’ve seen that exact same behavior from a failing fuel pump.

Time for a new fuel pump, no error codes or check engine light I assume. @eraser1998 Our 03 windstar has been as good as any vehicle, 1 fuel pump and plenum orings the only non maintenance after warranty repairs so far.
