Sounds like a fuel regulator or fule pump. your going to have to test the fuel pressure the port to hook a pressure tester is on the fuel rail. anything below 35-40psi you will need  to prob replace regulator

2000 windstar with a 3.8 motor cranks slow then stops and no start .Acts like a dead battery battery is good what can it be?

Bad connection or corroded cables, possibly a bad starter. Sounds like something is drawing more amps than the battery is capable of supplying.
