Make sure your plug wires are connected tightly to the correct spot on the distributor and the plugs.
Replaced by other models.
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.
Have the speed sensor replaced.
I just had mine replaced and there were 3 total.
The size of a transmission pan in a Ford Taurus is usually 5/16x18. However, this may vary if you've had the pan replaced in the past.
I just had this problem with my 94 taurus. It turned out to be the light switch on the steering column. I am not sure what it is called, but it is the "lever" you use to turn on the brights and blinkers. My hazzard lights were not woking either. I replaced it and all has been good for about a year now. Hope this helps.
About 68 gallons of gas.
You can't repair it. It must be replaced.You can't repair it. It must be replaced.
Never. The Taurus engines...both the Vulcan and the Duratec V6s...both have a timing CHAIN that lasts the life of the engine, not a timing belt.
You need to "bleed" the brakes at each wheel. R
Check your sensors.
I had this exact problem on my 1996 Taurus. The solution in my case was to replace the transmission range sensor. I replaced it myself. It was easy to change. I can't say if that is what is wrong with your Taurus, but it was what was wrong with mine. Good Luck! This was also the problem with my '96 Taurus... part was also refferd to a Nuetral Safty Switch"
