Run OBD codes to check. It can be as simple as a plugged up PCV.
Yeah depending on the price id buy it
Only the 1999 Ford Taurus SHO has a timing belt. The engine is built by Yamaha and NO it is not an interference engine. Replace the belt at 100,000 miles. All other Ford Taurus's have timing chains.
The Taurus SHO has a timing belt that must be replaced every 100,000 miles. All other Ford Taurus's have a chain that should last the life of the engine.
Around 18 city and 25 highway if the engine is running as it should.
It is a very collectible car. What it is worth depends on some factors. Is is all original, does it have the original engine and transmission, and most of all is what condition is it in. It can be worth up to $22,000.

its a coincidence that the light came on exactly at 150k. if the check engine light comes on then the computer senses a trouble code that must be checked out and repaired
Er....Get the engine serviced?
* It could be a faulty check engine light or a light sensor problem . There's probably not a problem with the engine at all just the faulty sensor light problem most likely. * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If your check engine light stays on with the engine running , a malfunction with the emission control system has been detected. Have your vehicle scanned for any trouble codes in order to diagnose and repair the problem. ( I had a check engine light come on at 35000 miles - in my case it turned out to be the DPFE sensor )
50 miles
It is safe to drive you car for at least one mile after the check engine light comes on.
I believe so, like most Toyotas the "check engine" light will flash for about 30 seconds of starting the engine after 4500 miles since last service and will remain on constantly after 5000 miles.
