I replaced a heater hose between the air phelum and intake manifold on a 2000 ford windstar. Now the number 6 cylinder is missing. Replaced the gaskets on the air phelum and checked all the vaccum hoses. I dont think it is the spark plug or spark plug wire because it happened the first time I put it back together. Any ideas?

Good morning,

This could be many things. I would start with checking the compression. You need 140 to 160 pounds of compression .

Beyond this, it could be a vacuum leak, a bad spark plug, or a coil.

Check the compression first to be sure there is no issue in the number 6 cylinder.
