i have a 99 windstar 3.8l that for some reason has an intermittent starting problem. it has problems starting pretty often and i know its not the battery starter or alternator cuz those have been tested and confimred good. i get in and turn the key and when it gets to the accessory position the fuel pump doesn't "prime" and the van wont start. at first all i had to do was open then close the door and arm the factory alarm. then disarm it and open the door then it would start w/ no problem. now even that doesnt work then just by turning the key forward then backwards then forwards anywhere from 10-50 it will sometimes start. does anyone have any experience with this or have any idea what it could be?
