    Trades for Celeste the Aerostar.

    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...

    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...

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...

    1997 Aerostar roll over on Rt. 55. My sweet Ethyl is not well.

    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...

    Hey y'all, new member here, I just got this one-of-a-kind 1986 Aerostar 5spd with the little 2.3L engine.

    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...

    Nice to be here!

    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...

    Everything went dead when the key was turned.

    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...

    1994 Aerostar. Starter or ignition problem.

    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...
