Best Answer

For the Reverse problem, you could have low Transmission Fluid, or a bad transmission.

For starting in drive, just about every modern car will not start when the transmission is in gear. They will only start in Park or Neutral. This is a safety feature to prevent the car from taking off into someone or something when started.

Why does 1997 Taurus LX after a stop ie stop light have to be put in reverse before it will go in and work in drive?

I purchased a 1997 Ford Taurus on July 15, 2008. Drove it home. The next day everything was going fine until I stopped at a traffic light, When I pushed the gas pedal, it was just as if I had the gearshift in neutral. I pulled the gearshift all the way down into low(1), same reaction, like it was in neutral. I put it in reverse and it started to back up. Then I put it in drive and off we go. It worked, but this was just the beginning of two more puzzling incidents. I feel if I can get the right answer to the 1st problem it wll also be the solution to the next two things that happened.
