1998 Ford Windstar. Loud grind sound when started it.
Question edited for clarity and fix funky punctuation and lack of spaces.
Question moved to model category.
My first thought was that the timing belt had snapped, but you have a timing chain and it says this
Does a Ford Windstar have a timing belt or chain?
Best Answer. Your Ford Windstar had two engine options and they both ran a timing chain, not a timing belt. Belts need to be replaced at around 100K miles, but since you have a hardened steel timing chain, you have nothing to worry about. Your chain should last the life of the engine without being serviced.

Has the oil ever been changed. You saying there was a 'pop' concerns me but it may have been a backfire, or unburned fuel popping through the Throttle Body.
And then there is the grinding sound, but that might just be the starter on the flywheel.
The only way to diagnose is to call out a mobile mechanic.

1995 Ford Windstar. the Dash, wipers, windows, went out, replaced GEM module and still won't work. How do I fix it?
If replacing the GEM module did not fix the issue, the next step is to check the wiring and connections to the GEM module. Make sure all of the wires are properly connected, and check for any signs of corrosion or damage. You may also want to try resetting the GEM module by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and then reconnecting it. If none of these steps work, then the problem may lie in the fuse box or wiring harness, and you may need to take the vehicle to a qualified technician to have it checked.

How do u prime a
If you're referring to a fuel injected gasoline vehicle, self prime takes place at key start. If you still feel the need to have the computer repeat this process (or re- self prime), turn the key all the way until the dash lights come on, then turn off. Repeat this 5 times then attempt to start. If all the windows are closed and the radio is off, when you turn key on with engine off, you'll hear the fuel pump at the rear of vehicle buzz or hum as it's priming the system.
