As en engine ages, how fast does it’s mpg deteriorate?

I’m interested in the Ford Freestyle. Maybe 40,000miles or so. It is now called the Ford Taurus X. So why do I want the old Freestyle and not the new Taurus X?

Well, one of the biggest complaints of the Freestyle was the there was not enough engine power. So they ramped it up. Only problem, they went from 27 mpg in the 2005-2007 Freestyle to 24 mpg in the 2008-2009 Taurus X.

Does it make a difference at this point? If I buy a 2005 Freestyle does it still have 27 mpg, or has it realistically fallen to 24 mpg by now…and I might as well get a new Taurus X?

I have a 1996 ford taurus g thats has a power steering leak from the steering boot, how hard is it to fix?

I have replaced the flasher, and multiswitch, and the hazards work but not the turn signals. After I replaced the flasher they work off on for a while. One day they would work fine the next not at all. once I left the them 0n as I was on the freeway and they startred to work. now nothing. any suggestions

Someone told me maybe the speed sensor, also it does’nt do it every time, and when driving the transmission shifts fine. If anyone could help me out I would really be greatful.

What does this code mean?

when i am on the highway, my headlights go dim and everything electrical shuts down and then comes back on.what does this mean?

I know it was a fleet car - and after lease period is over will be avail to public. (rumored to be last year of production well into 2008) I tried motortrends.com, carreview.com, etc but got nothing.

When I drive my car, I can hear my tires or something near them squeaking. I think it’s something with the front ones, when I brake, I hear it slowing down or sometimes even stop. I thought it was something to do with my brakes, but my brakes don’t usually squeak when I use them unless it’s early morning or it’s rained, when it’s really moist. I don’t know a thing about cars, any answer would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I have a 2001 Ford Taurus Sedan, it has a 6 CD changer but no tape deck, what is the cheapest method of doing something so I can listen to iPod?
CD Changer is in the head unit

And How do I change it, can I just use the normal bulbs for turn signals? Or do I have to buy something different, I normally have no problem finding the son of a gun on any of my other cars, but I cannot find it on the taurus, thanks alot!!
And for the smartA** that answered earlier, I know it is in the trunk, but I can’t seem to find it, I pulled what I thought was the bulb out and it was just wires.

And I also changed the spark plug wires and the engine light still ciomes on saying I am misfiring. I hear that I shoukld change the ignition block but if there was a probelm with that, would I not have problems with all cylinders?

The alarm will go off when the temperature is 32 degrees. Anytime the temperature is below or above 32 degrees the alarm will not go off. Can I disable the alarm?

I have a blown bulb and am hoping to replace it. I have tried a few times but there seems to be an intricate mechanism in the bolts that is hard to get past…

It’s a 95 Taurus, and the cd player is a Nextar NCD50. I’m not really sure how to go about doing all this, and the instruction manual is not so specific. Thanks!

Where is the heater core located on my car? Need to know so I can Replace it with a new one.

I own a very old car (1988 ford taurus) and it has an automatic transmission. I’m a real freak about merging onto highways, so I usually shift it from the overdrive gear into the drive to downshift it (Pushing the pedal to the floor doesn’t always downshift it) and try to get up to speed as quickly as possible. So the question is, would this have cause my need to rebuild the transmission after 67,000 miles?

I was driving my 93 ford taurus just the other day when I had to stop to pick someone up, the car started fine when I went to pick this person up but in the 3 minutes it was off I couldn’t get it to start again.

I added some coolant as it was very close to empty, and tried to jump start it, even with the jump start the car wouldn’t even make a noise, absolutely nothing, no clicking no reving of the engine nothing.

At first I thought the battery must be very dead, but the car lights and radio work when I turn the ignition so it can’t be that can it? Also I bought the car about 6 months ago and I have no idea how old the battery is, it looks empty on water.

Does anyone have any idea what may be the problem? I’m thinking it’s the starter but I don’t know how it could blow with no warning or anything.

Can this be fixed without buying a new Rack? this is the only place it is leaking.
