I think its the relay in ford windstar

Don't know for sure but my thought should be cheep to check out. I am thinking. I have had cars where electrical parts got over heated and stopped working. Had a car coil would get overheated and shut the car down. Had a car recently which the fan relay would over heat and the fan would quit working. After the relay cooled down the fan would work till the relay heated up again. I changed the relay and solved my problem.
My thought is if it run and stops running check the temp of your relays. for example if the fuel pump relay is a lot hotter than the other relays it might. be bad. When it shuts down just check the temp on you relays and see if any of them are a lot hotter than the others.
It shouldn't really cost anything as long as you can get out of the car and do it in a safe location.

98 windstar 3.8 problems - CarGurus

Was the fuel pump new? When this much work is involved never use salvage parts. The fuel pump run function is interlocked with engine oil pressure sensor to indicate engine is running. On initial startup the fuel pump run is momentary to prime the injectors. Your problem is probably the oil pressure sensor or sending unit

The fuel pump might have went out,have a fuel pressure test done to make sure

The fuel pump fuse blowing is an indication of the fuel pump wires may be shorted inside the tank.
If you drop the tank and remove the module, you may find the insulation burned off some of the pump wires.
Prob a good idea to take it in. If it is happening to your model, it may be a re occurring problem for that model and mechanics may have seen it before.

there is a emergency ful shut off in the jack compartment just push the button.

Power from the relay comes from the ignition switch. If you don't have power at the relay then its likely the switch.

check the vaccum hoses. if the hoses are soft the will collapse and stall the engine. also check all vaccum hoses.
