SOURCE: GAS GETTING INTO CRANKCASE,HITS BUT WON"T START.

Have you checked compression? Ford 2.0L engines are bad about dropping exhaust valve seats. Also are you sure your valve timing is correct? Possible timing belt problem.

2001 Windstar stopped running while driving. It started fine but was shaking thought I needed gas since my fuel light was one. Car stopped working before I got there right before it died the oil light and...

Did you check the oil level? After making sure that oil and water are at proper levels, and BATTERY is fully charged, start it again while checking the fuel pressure at the fuel rail. Also check and make sure vacuum line to fuel pressure regulator is good and hooked up.
If it doesn't start,try it with the MAF unhooked. Sometimes a bad MAF sensor will keep them from starting.
Outside chance of a bad alternator too. don-ohio

Tireandbrake fluid lites stay on

I think these maybe unrelated. Check your brake fluid level. Also check to make sure your emergency/parking brake is not slightly set.

The tire light is on either because your tire pressure is too low, or the tire pressure sensor batteries are dead. If adjusting the pressure doesn't make the light go out in a couple of days, have the sensors checked the next time you have your tires replaced.

I drove my 2001 Windstar to work with no problem, went out to go to lunch and the engine would not start. Put battery charger on it, but it says it is fully charged.

check and clean the battery posts first. Do the headlights work ok, and dim when you turn key to start?
Any clicking?

Try staarting in neutral. turn key to on, apply brake, shift to neutral, try to start.

Having trouble to start the van, battery, starter all seems to

check your battery cables. Make sure they dont pull out of the lugs and make sure they are grounded properly as this will cause you this problem. had similar experience not long ago.

Check the alternator to. You can take it in and have it tested or jump start it and disconnect your battery and see if it dies. IF it dies then the alternator is bad.

Flashing interior lights, battery wont keep a charge, power locks activating while driving?

You have a loose or shorted wire someplace, all that you can do is start looking for it. It could be inside a door, or the harness that feeds the door.
