There's a great color diagram of the cylinder layout and distributor cap connections.
AnswerThe number one should be marked on the cap. Starting there, with the number one wire, go clockwise: 1,4,2,5,3,6 Answer1,4,2,5,3,6 AnswerThere were 3 engines that year. The 3.0, 3.0 SHO, and 3.8 The firing order on the 3.0 SHO is listed here: http://autorepair.about.com/library/firing_orders/bl-fo-8545.htm The firing order on the 3.0 & 3.8 are the same 1-4-2-5-3-6 The 3.0 distributor rotates clockwise. The 3.8 rotates counterclockwise.3.0 V-6: http://autorepair.about.com/library/firing_orders/bl-fo-6803.htm
3.8 V-6: http://autorepair.about.com/library/firing_orders/bl-fo-6804.htm
Answer1-4-2-5-3-6 (clockwise distributor rotation) unless its a SHO or a FFA 1998 Ford Taurus uses the Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ( EDIS ) with a coil pack , so there is no distributor
it doesnt have one
The distributor is at the front of the 3.8 L - V6 engine - so COUNTERCLOCKWISE
if its a 4v it under the valve cover. if its a 2v it is on top of the half distributor at the rear of the engine under the throttle body.
There isn't one. All 2003 Ford Taurus use a coil pack under the control of the Powertrain Control Module instead of a distributor.
Number are gone
Having troble timing new distributor in 92 Taurus 3.0 maybe firing order ? crossed wires? Wont smooth out. Help,, PLEASE !
No , it has a coil pack for the 6 engine cylinders
There is no longer an ignition "distributor" on today's engine.Electrical distribution is handled by the:Powertrain Control Module (PCM),camshaft position sensor (CPS)ignition coil that looks like a rectangular distributor. NOTE: 2000-2005 Duratec engines use Coil-on-Plug (COP) in lieu of a coilpackBy the way, there is also no longer an ignition control module - that job has been passed off to the PCM.The "How do you know which wire goes where on the ignition coil and spark plugs on a Taurus - Sable" question below introduces the basics of ignition distribution - hopefully it will help folks transition from the old arrangement to the new.
No they do not
The planet Mercury is located int he constellation Taurus, which is also known as the Bull. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun.
It uses a coil pack instead of a distributor cap. Follow a spark plug wire to coil pack.
