Temperature go hign then go back to normal after driving uphill or whenever i accelerates in uphill?

It has 173,000 miles on it. I want to sell it because I’ve saved about enough money for a newer one. It runs pretty well but needs the Fuel Injecters flushed eventually. Not sure How to price the thing.

when I go and try to start my car it just keeps turning over.Then I turn the ignition off and try it again it cranks.Then anywhere I go it will just start on up.I don’t need an oil change or checkup.Last one was in May and I haven’t driven no more than a total of 200 miles since then.Maybe less….What could be the problem.
FYI……I hate that car.

my manual does not tell me what tools i need.

what tools do i need to remove the axle or halfshaft?what size… I need to buy new replacement bolts and nuts correct?

My engine light goes on and off. Usually it comes on right as i hit somewhere between 45 to 50 mph. Then sometimes it will go off again when I let off the gas. I have notice when I go real slow it sputters and I know I need new shocks. But other than that the car runs great.When I say sputters sometimes I do mean hardly ever. Please help or tell me how to help myself without going to mechanic.
fuel filter has been replaced but last year, could it be my fuel pressure regulator or my fuel injectors?Or something else

I know I shouldn’t pay any attention to EPA estimates, but others have reported getting between 17 mpg and 20 mpg in moderate city traffic. I am getting between 10 mpg and 12 mpg.

I recently replaced an Idle Air Control Valve, Serpentine belt, Exhaust Gas Recirculator Valve, and had my Catalytic Converters (all 3) checked. I don’t drive with a lead foot, I don’t start off the line too fast and I don’t come to sudden stops.

Anyway, I also ran a KOEO self test (uses 2-digit codes) and it came up with the left and right oxygen sensors detecting lean, and Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit Failure. That last one sounds bad, but then again I have one of those hidden fuel shut-off buttons inside the car on the floor next to the driver door, so it may have just saved into memory the fact that I used that.

When I took it to a muffler shop, thinking it was the cat converters causing a problem, they said that it’s not the cats and that they smell unburned gas. Maybe a leaky fuel pump or fuel line? Maybe the fuel injector? At this point, I have no idea, but I can’t afford to have bad gas mileage. Could someone help?

1988 Ford Taurus 3.8 V6, auto with OD. The engine almost always runs without issues when driving, or when stopped with the transmission in drive or reverse. The second the transmission is shifted into neutral or park, the engine increases in RPM’s and then drops off. This cycle usually continues until the engine stops running. Sometimes it recovers and idles for a few seconds, then returns to the fluctuating RPM situation. With the transmission in park or neutral, the RPM’s fluctuate, if you put the transmission in reverse or drive, the engine usually recovers and runs at a steady continuous RPM. If the trany is shifted back into neutral or park, the RPM fluctuation starts all over again. This issue has mostly if not always occurred when the engine is at its normal operating temp. There have only been a few time this occurred with the transmission in drive. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this type of issue?

My car had 97K miles when the catalytic converter broke. I’m wondering whether it should have been covered by warranty, even though the dealer said it was not. THANKS!

and where can i buy it and is it easy to self install

He wants to know why does it keep doing this.

I have purchased a new pair of 6" X 8" Pioneer TS-A6881R’s and I cant seem to find a way to just remove the speaker grille. Does it require removing the complete inner door panel? I want to do this as an anniversary present for my wife. Thank you for your help…..Chris

i have a 2000 ford taurus and want to put 22 inch rims but the tires will hit so is there anything i can do to lift it without doing any welding

I have been driving with water only for awhile , now all of a sudden my car is over heating and I had to pull over to let it cool down Does this mean my thermostat may have gone bad or should I just put coolant in the radiator ??

I thinking about getting another Ford Taurus a 2010 model by next year, i have a 2005 Taurus.And it has been pretty good to me. Now when Ford came out with the 2008 Five Hundred, Oops! i meant 2008 Taurus, i was not too impressed with that model and then Ford finally came out with the 2010 Taurus! which i thinks is sharp. Now i have not test drove any, but looking at the pricing for the SHO i would not pay ,000 for no Tuarus as much as i like them. I am not a big fan of the Toyota and i Hate Hondas but i would buy the Camry before i brought a ,000 Taurus
I like the Taurus a lot but if i go to spend ,000, i`d much rather by it cousin the Lincoln MKS which i think is sharp also
