Lets just say i was gona buy a 1995 ford taurus for 0 that has an engine knock i know i should not buy it but lets just say i already did. Theres a slight knock that eases once the engine is warmed up and there is no white smoke. What can cause those knocks. actually its more like a tick.

this is my kids car. he put gas in it, drove a mile or so and it stalled out. He then was unable to restart it. It cranks fine but will not start. He changed the coil, fuel filter and plug wires(he did not have tools to change plugs….I get to do that in the morning). Is there a fusible like or something like a Chrysler ballast resister on a Ford? Thanks for ANY help provided

I recently installed an aftermarket head unit along with an adapter kit for my 2000 ford taurus. The problem is is when I put the cables on for the amp and sub the cd player won’t slide in all the way. if I take them off then it fits fine. the plugs stick out the same amount as the antenna plug. is there anything i can do to fix this problem or am i just gonna have to forget having the amp installed?

like Regular Unleaded of Premium

I had to take it off to get the radiator fan out to work on some things, now the radiator fan turns on immediately when I turn the key to the "on" position, and the fuel pump doesn’t seem to be turning on. I can’t even start the car. I presume I activated the airbag sensor because I didn’t wait long enough after disconnecting the battery.

Abortion Provider Dr. George Tiller Killed at Church

Police say Tiller’s body was removed from the church at 12:30 Sunday afternoon. The FBI is involved in the investigation.

Nationwide alert issued for car and suspect description.

Suspect: white male 50-60, balding in middle, gray hair, white shirt, dark pants, 6′1" 220

Powder blue 93 Ford Taurus, K-State vanity plate, tag "225 BAB".

Eyewitness News has confirmed that abortion provider Dr. George Tiller has been shot and killed at his Wichita church.

The shooting happened around ten o’clock Sunday morning at the Reformation Lutheran Church.

Tiller was the victim of violence before. On June 9, 1986 someone detonated a homemade bomb on the roof of his Wichita clinic. No one was hurt

During the Summer of Mercy in 1991, protesters blocked the entrance to his facility before a federal judge ruled the protesters be arrested.

Two years later, Dr. Tiller was shot outside his clinic the evening of August 19, 1993. His wounds were not life threatening. Abortion opponent Shelly Shannon was convicted of that shooting and sentenced to prison.

I have a 2005 Ford Taurus SEL latley i have been having problems starting it. Here are the things i have observed. If you have any ideas it would be greatly apprciated. the starter seems to sound like it is working fine it makes the normal trying to turn over sound but not all the time sometimes it makes just a clicking noise. the onboard computer screen will flash fuel comp just before it displays the milage. it will start adventually and it seems to start better with a fuller tank of gas. Today the clock radio reset it self back to 12:00. once the car is started there are no other obvious problems the engine dose not seem to be miss firing or anthing else and none of the warnig light on the disply unit are lite up oil is always changed on time.
It was the battery, I went had it tested it was bad. Thank you all so much

Also how much would the estimated cost be for fixing it…? I am about to take a road trip and having it broken would be an enormous inconvenience… Help would be greatly appreciated!
Also, the fuse is not blown. If that helps… I’m useless with cars. I plugged in a 110 volt inverter into the outlet before it burned out. I think that’s what did it in the first place.

I recently bought a car stereo CD player kit for my 1996 Ford Taurus. And now, I’m not sure how to hook it up. The kit came with instructions, but they’re confusing to me, so if anyone can help me out, and please give me some step by step instructions on how to install it. Thanks.

Hi, I recently purchased a used Ford Taurus and have been having some trouble with the delayed accessory feature. The radio is supposed to play for up to 10 minutes after you take the key out of the ignition or until opening the door according to the manual. However, this feature does not work all of the time and when it does it usually only plays for a few seconds. I was wondering if anyone knew what could cause this problem and if theres anyway to configure the delayed accessory feature. I have been looking online and sofar have not been able to find anything on this issue. Thanks ahead of time!

I’m swapping out the 3.0l Vulcan V6 on my ‘97 Ford Taurus and I just need to know what all I have to remove from the front of the engine to have enough clearance to get it out the top so I don’t have to remove the entire sub-frame and transmission. I’ve seen it done several times I just never paid enough attention to all the details.

what are the steps to installing a starter on a 2001 taurus SES? Please be specific…only serious answers please

There are three slots for the two bars. I pulled the bars out of the slots and now my trunk won’t stay in the "up" position.
There’s nothing in my manual about it!
Plz help!

i now drive a 2003 ford windstar(sliver)

Found a video of the new 2010 Ford Taurus SHO track numbers vs the 2009 Infiniti G37. Watch for yourself and look how the SHO performs against a mid-sized performance sedan. Don’t you think they made a crappy comparison? The SHO has potential!
