My 1995 ford windstar will not start
before this, it would stall
before this, when ever it was driven and got warm the speedometer would go to zero and stay at zero then the van would begin to drag.

I am at wits end

just recently I had the car towed to Midas,they found out that I needed a new fuel pumpm the car now drives.. ok cool, well now I thought maybe the speedobeter woud go back to regular.. but it still goes to zero and stays there, I am assumingm you are correct that it might be a computer problem. GRRRRRR ..

I love My Ford and I guess I will have to go get it fixed.

when it was stalling the check engine lite would come on, now that the fuel pump is fixed the light is gone.

If the sensor is bad, would it cause the van to drag if the speedometer whet to zero?
