I have sold my 2000 Ford Taurus and bought a 2009 Toyota Corolla. I still have my old Taurus snow tires “Artic Alpin” in my garage with 16” size P215/60R16 95Q with “universal rims” on, which still have some good treads left And, my Corolla also has 16” tire size P205/55R16 89H M+S at this moment, which presumably is a all season tire.
The fact that they both are 16” tire means it is OK & safe to install my Taurus snow tires onto my Corolla? Thanks.
Based on the aspect ratio, the sidewall height of both tires are:
taurus 129Mm
corolla112.75Mm
Ht diff16.25Mm
16.25mm =0.6398 inches, which means that the Taurus snow tires are ONLY 0.6398 inches taller than my current corolla tires.
I have a Ford Taurus 1989. It still runs (I still drive it) and it has 163,xxx miles on it. It has outside blemishes (not eye sore blemishes) but it is still old. I would like to sell this car for parts, or at least to someone who needs a bucket to get around. I live in Washington DC, what would be a good way to get my car sold for parts? or Sold period? Anyone know of any good places.
Thanks

I’m thinking of towing a boat and trailer that was 1100 pounds, with a 1991 ford tauras. I’ll be towing it 800 miles (down I5 from Seattle to San Francisco.

I want to do a little work on my own for my 2007 Ford Taurus SE. I’ve looked everywhere for a Chilton (or similar) guide that illustrates most parts of the car and describes how to perform several fixes/maintenance. The only Taurus guide I can find goes up to 2005 or earlier. Where can I find a guide (either paper or digital) like this for my model year?
I drove a 1993 ford taurus today and whenever I turned the steering wheel right or left, there was an oscillating of the steering wheel. The car turned just fine but the steering wheel would move right to left to right to left….and so on in an oscillating manner.
If this is a simple PS pump problem then I may make a very low offer for the car. Other than the steering issue, the car is in excellent shape. The driving I did was about 18 miles to a wholesale auto auction and as an employee of the auction, I can bid on it.
This morning my dashboard lights for "Door ajar" and then later "Parking Brake on" stayed lit even though they were not. I had to restart that car to get them to go away, Finally they did, but after being parked for 8 hours at work, the battery had drained. 2004 Ford Taurus. Any ideas?
I bought a 1988 ford taurus wagon yesterday, and while driving it today, it ceased to go forward. It will now only go in reverse! Is it possible that the transmission isn’t blown, or is this it?? It was slipping a little right before it happened. Any suggestions, or know where to get a good, low priced used transmission??
I have enough money for a body kit and turbo.
My 1999 Ford Taurus is ugly but with the body kit and turbo I think it would be beastly.
What do you think, and what would be the cost of this?
I keep the car running by adding water and coolant, but oftentimes the plastic tank becomes full. The car (1989 Ford Taurus GL) is beginning to have a knocking sound on the passenger side. There is some kind of fluid (condensed water maybe?) coming not from the tailpipe, but somewhere before it gets to that point. Could the problem be the thermostat? I want to know how I can fix the problem myself. Help!
I really want to buy an American car to help out the economy, but more specifically a Ford since they are not wanting to get a handout…I mean bailout from the government. The problem is is that there are not really a ton that interest me except the 2009 Mazda6 and since it is owned by the Ford motor company and the car is made in the USA wouldn’t buying one be just as helpful to them as say buying a Ford Taurus or is it more complicated than that?
was driving a 1991 ford taurus with only 22,000 miles on it which had been sitting for about a year. after 800 miles niticed a burnt rubber smell and trail of transmissio fluid behind car. could this be a simple thing like the pan gasket or is it more likely a major failure

I have a 2000 Ford Taurus with a check engine light. I am going on a trip from Madison, Wisconsin to Bloomington , Minnesota. Took it to go see what was the light on for, and it came up with code 1414 (po 1414), which means it is something to do with the electric air pump. How much would it take to repair it, or will I be able to make it to and back from Minnesota?
