It has a computer chip in the key.

The car was wrecked yesterday by my teenage son. No insurance to fix the car. Will cost 200 to have it towed here. Trying to find out if it is even worth the trouble.. Before wreck it was worth around ,500.. Would a salvage yard pay 4 or 5 hundred for it or should I just give it to the towing company for the towing fee? The motor is damaged but everything from the windshield back is unhurt.. 3 of the alloy rims are still OK. The car was loaded so it has many useable parts.

I have a 2004 Ford Taurus and the transmission started slipping recently. Then 3 days ago the Check Transmission light started coming on! Any ideas what it could be and how much its gonna cost…… its a V6 and other then that in great condition. My husband want to trade it in but i only owe a couple more payments on it… is it worth keeping or should i trade it while its still running???

the first is motor mounts and a transmission for a 1991 Ford Taurus and the second is a complete door kit with power locks and windows for a 1993 Ford F150

I drive a Taurus http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/46/2004-2007_Ford_Taurus_Sedan.jpg and recently the left side turn signal blinks very fast … blink, blink. blink, blink, blink.

The right side goes blink ….. blink ….. blink ….. blink ….. blink like it should.

The left side is at least 3 times faster than the right side. Any thoughts on this slightly bothersome issue?? Should I change the fuse/fuses?

It’s only done this for a few weeks … it just irks me. (smiling)

Thanks and thumbs up to all who answer! Just give me time to get back and read the answers.
Thanks for your answers!

Is there anything I can do (preferably just some adjustment, or replace something on the cheaper side) to get tighter steering on my 1989 Ford Mustang LX coupe 2.4L 4 cyl?

I would have expected a mustang to be tighter then other cars, but even my moms ford Taurus has tighter steering then mine.

It’s time for a tune up and I was just wondering how to change the coolant in a 2001 Taurus.
Thanks!
i just learned that there’s a difference between flushing it and changing it….i want to flush it…..how do i do that?

I’ve looked for it everywhere but I don’t know where it is. It is a used car and I know the code to lock it, but not to unlock it.

I have found the letters A,B,C and D, corresponding to the wires on the MAF but what is what ? There are only 4 wires on this type of MAF.

Im thinking of buying a Ford Taurus GL 1994
With 54,000 miles
Motor 3.8 V6

Has anyone ever had this car…can you please give me some advice?
What are the important things to check on this car before buying it?
Does this car have any known defaults?

For the automatic transmission (normal use): How many miles can it normally take before having to change or repair the transmission?

Thanks!
p.s. the asking price is ,500

I have a 2000 ford Taurus, it’s misfiring and cutting off after tune up. I changed the plugs and wires one by one to make sure I didn’t cross anything up and now it runs worse than before.

I am looking for a price for a 1996 ford taurus gl neutral safety switch please if you have any info please let me know

I recently constructed a still to make ethanol or moonshine out of things like apples and pairs and other fruits. I have a 1986 Dodge ram, a 1983 Dodge ram, a 1994 Ford Taurus. I was wondering what would happen if I just put the ethanol I make from my still in the gas tank without any modifications to my three engines. I understand fuel mileage will go down but what type of engine issues would it cause and WHY would it cause them? I plan on keeping some gas in both vehicles but I am going to be very heavy on alcohol from this point on. There will reach a point were all I have is ethanolto put in my tank and there willbe no gas and it wil be 100 proof. What will it do at that proof and would any unusual smells come from the car? I need educated answers from people who KNOW what they are talking about and have done this before.
So I an only have 20 percent of the content in my engine ethanol? Does the gasoline in my tank notcut down on the amount of ethanol damage? I am trying to save a good amount of money on fuel here.. Whats the most ethanol I can put in w/o damage?

The real deal or not.

Buying a new car isn’t an option! My husband already changed the spark plugs and wires. I know it’s not the gas because it’s been going on for a while and I have used premium grade gas and gas treatment. Check engine light is NOT on. It sputters when idle or when I am driving slow, not as much when I am at 55mph. Please help!

What is the number or name of the snap-on-tabs that hold the one piece insulated material that attaches to the underside of the hood? I had to take it off in order to get to the hoses for the Windsheild Wipers. There are about 10 of these tabs that snap onto the underside of the hood. I lost them and have to get them replaced.

i`ve heard, prestone is the best , GTX is the best etc. so what would be the best oil to use for my engine? since i do a lot of traveling.
