Windstar 1995 3.8L Model - Persistent PO302 Code Despite Plug and Coil Replacement

Model: Windstar Fault Code: P0302 Posted: 2008-03-13 14:33

I've recently replaced the spark plugs, ignition cables, crankshaft position sensor (CKP), and coil pack on my 1995 Windstar with a 3.8L engine. However, the vehicle continues to display the PO302 diagnostic trouble code. The symptoms are clear—there is a noticeable gasoline smell and visible fuel dripping from the exhaust pipe, indicating that the cylinder is not firing properly. I've gone through all standard ignition-related components but still can't resolve this issue. What should I check next? Are there any other potential causes for a persistent PO302 code in this model?

Check for an intake gasket leak causing vacuum loss, verify if the injector is receiving pulse signals, and perform a compression test. These steps can help identify whether the issue lies in fuel delivery or cylinder sealing. If unresolved, it may be best to consult specialized forums or seek assistance from a certified mechanic with experience in 1995 Windstar models.
