check your timing belt. there is a bolt that may be loose. If you don't know what you're doing go to an auto parts store
A very low idle can cause a 97 Ford Taurus to stall. Another reason for stalling may be transmission bands sticking, which does not allow the transmission to come out of gear on idle.
Low oil level or pressure Hydraulic lifter bad
There is not a low idle screw. The computer sends a signal to the idle air control motor and it does the adjusting accordingly. If your idle is to high and your check engine light is on then you need to go to a repair shop and have them diagnosis the problem.
The battery light tells you the system is not charging, if it comes on at idle or low rpm it is likely a weak or failing alternator. The idle being too low can also cause it to come on.
idle speed controll or tps throttle sensor
The idle speed is controlled by the computer ( PCM , Powertrain Control Module )
remove it from the engine
The idle for the 97 Taurus could be too low. The transmission bands could be sticking some as well, not allowing the transmission to come out of gear during idling.
whats the problem for my 94 ford van engine high and low idle
on a 2005 ford Taurus the AC inlet is next to the firewall on the passenger side
where is the engine coolant temperature sensor- low input locationon a 1998 ford taurus
When the oil light comes on when a 2002 Ford Taurus is idling it means there may be a problem with the oil pressure that needs to be checked.
