What is the difference in a pump and compressor?

they have different names A Pump is a mechanical device which transfers Liquid from a lower point to a higher point.Eg: Centrifugal pump,Rotary pump,Reciprocating pump. A Compressor is a high pressure mechanical device which basically compressors air/gas Well, a compressor compresses a gas and a pump moves a liquid. Compressors are often used in refrigeration applications where gas is transformed into a liquid and vice-versa, so the main task for the compressor is not to move the gas but to compress it.

Where is the air compressor located on a 1997 Ford Taurus?

It does not have an Air Compressor. If you are talking about the A/C Compressor, then just look at the drive belts. One of these belts is driving the compressor. If it has one serpentine belt, it is driving the A/C compressor, PS pump, Alternator, & Water Pump. Just follow the belt to find it.
