I have a 1992 Ford Aerostar named Celeste, it is Canadian, currently living in Burlington, VT and I think could be exported to the USA. I love it dearly, it still runs but has an exhaust leak on the manifold that I can't afford to fix. It's an elder, so I am sure there are a lot of other things...
Hey Fellas,
I recently bought a 1993 Extended Aerostar in (mostly) excellent condition. It had a cracked rear bumper cover and I figured it would be an easy salvage yard find... lol. Thanks to the wisdom available on this forum, I quickly realized just how difficult it is to find these parts...
Hello all, I guess I’m the new guy on the block. I have owned my 1992 Aerostar since the day I bought it from the Lima Ford Engine Plant In 1992. I was a Motor Mechanic on the V-6 Assembly Line and worked for Ford Motor Company for 41 years. I just put Classic License Plates on my Van. Even...
I have a 1997 Ford Aerostar with the 3.0L Vulcan engine, 86,000 miles. My check engine light is on, and it has the following error codes:
P0340 - CMP sensor circuit fault
P0340-C CMP sensor circuit malfunction
I have an obd 2 cable, and I use obd 2 software called FORScan, so I can reset the...
Good evening!
My new (to me) 1993 Aerostar XL 3.0 RWD has the BRAKE light lit on the dashboard 100% of the time, and I am at a loss on what it could be.
The brake fluid is full. The parking brake is all the way down (hand brake) I have inspected the level sensor, it looks visually okay...
Good morning from the Pacific Northwest, I am very excited to join this forum of enthusiasts. My name is Aaron, it's been a while since I've been on a forum-based group, happy to be back on the platform. A little about me, I've been working in the automotive industry for the past 8 years...
Hello. So im going to change my filter in my Aerostar.
I have a 1995 XTL V6 4.0l E4WD 4R55-R.
Im woundering how much oil do i need to prepare me for ? i know it takes around 9.6 Liters, but i have also been told that if you just take the sump off, it only dumps around half.. is that true ? The...
The vehicle is a 1990 Aerostar 3.0L Automatic. After overnight parking is when the problem occurs, shifts just fine in reverse and to take off when backing up, but once it runs for a good minute if there's a hill with a stop sign at the end of it, it either has heavy acceleration from the take...
April 2016 Ethyl and I were headed home from Philly and everything was right with the world. All of the sudden there was styrofoam all over the place. The lift truck company van in front of me was not paying attention and slammed on his brakes dead. I headed into the median and it looked as if...
Hi guys, I have a 91 awd aerostar (in Washington if anyone interested) and am curious if the steering shaft can swap into my on ranger? My ranger has two U joints in its shaft one about half way up and another just inside the firewall that kicks to the left to steering wheel. (It has a custom...
Good Morning,
I joined the forum this morning to learn and share information about Ford Aerostars. I currently own a '94 3.0 Blue, and a '93 3.0 Maroon. I am a Vulcan motor aficionado. Having recently acquiring the '93 as a replacement for the '94, I am having fuel/air/vacuum/sensor issues...
Hey y'all, new member here,
I just got this one-of-a-kind 1986 Aerostar 5spd with the little 2.3L engine. Its a gem of a car, but while trying to drive it back from Georgia to NY the transmission went out. I'm not the most mechanically inclined but have been obsessed with Aerostars since I was...
Ok I am very new to this but I am lost... I have an 94 3.0L Aerostar Van automatic at about 94,000 miles and its been giving me hell! Let me start when it all began I had it parked for about 1-2 yrs. but I would turn it on occasionally....so when my Acura integra was on its last leg I figured I...
My 1994 Aerostar 4L AWD runs perfectly but it won't start when it is even a little cold ie 0C or 32F. When it has been left overnight it turns over fast, fires now and then and backfires through the intake. If i plug in the block heater for 15min or so (a little longer when it is very cold) it...
I bought a trailer hitch installation for my van today as I"m going on a long trip to Ohio from Oregon starting on the 2nd of August. I needed the trailer hitch to pull a 5x8 enclosed trailer filled to the brim with tons of stuff. My problem is after assembling the darndable thing (there was a...
Hi! I drive a 1996 Ford Aerostar that I bought in January 2000. I had the rack and pinion steering replaced and power steering filled about 2,000 miles ago (just under 3 months) and I'm leaking power steering fluid again, I think. It started whining and I checked the fluid to find it was...
The heater control valve on my 1995 Aerostar has broken. I can find replacement parts at rockauto.com or autozone but they are configured differently. Part number 74809 is supposed to be the one. Mine sits on the passenger side of the engine compartment right up next to the AC drier/canister...
Hello All, it is nice to be here. It can certainly be a good thing to have a sight where there are other Aerostar owners that may have answer about your vehicle. So many times you feel that you are all on your own when trying to do diagnostics on a sound or vibration. From experience, that can...
Just bought a 95 Ford Aeostar XLT conversion van. It had been starting fine, but went out today & opened the door. The door chime sounded as usual, but the moment that I turned the key to start it, everything went dead. There was no click, no anything. Now the door chime will not even...
Im trying to pull my A4LD ? to R & R front seal. Haynes says there is a cover to remove, so as to access torque converter to flywheel bolts, NOT ON MINE.... there does seem to be a two part bellhousing, can I pull the tranny back to access these bolts without passing "point of no return" ...
I have a 1995 4wd 4.0 6 cyl. Aerostar. Over the past several months my coolant level has been going down on a regular basis. I can't see any obvious leaks and there are no puddles on the ground. I did run a bottle of 'Stopleak" through the radiator just for the heck of it but no change in...
After years of rare issues starting my Aerostar due to a worn out ignition lock cylinder, I finally decided to change it. Sometimes I had to put it in neutral and/or back to Park in order for it to start. However, after putting a new ignition lock cylinder, I'm getting the same problem where the...
