Take it to a Auto Zone or one of those places & have them plug in their computer to it. That will tell them what the error code is. Sounds like the fuel injectors are dirty & need to be cleaned. Dirty fuel injectors will cause the engine to be sluggish, idle rough & have no pickup.

When you replace the plugs you should also replace the wires. If you don't have a check engine light then you wont have a bad cam sensor. Stick to fuel and spark issues.

1998 WINDSTAR CSERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS ON

it's not likely a bad o2 sensor would cause it to run rough, but the catylitic converter, which is what the o2 sensor reads the flow of, would cause the car to idle and run rough.If you take it to an auto parts store to have a diagnostic test ran on it( most major parts stores will do this for free), thecodes it gets would help pin point it alot better.

If the engine seems to run fine over 1450 RPM maybe there is a vacuum hose leaking or EGR valve is slightly stuck open. Any help from the OBD II trouble codes? Or is there simply no MIL and no stored information in the OBD II computer read at the local parts store through the connector by the drivers knee?
