I own a 1988 Ford Taurus Station Wagon. I believe it is a 6 cyl. Last night it was just fine starting up and everything.. this morning it wont start. Everything comes on but the engine wont turn over. What could be the potential problems?
If the battery is dead.. how am I still getting power to the the rest of the vehicle… plus we tried jumping it off.. didnt work…

i just bought a ford Taurus station wagon from a private party without first trying out the car and i am now noticing some problems on the car.

first of all, the fuel tank gauge does not work at all. is there anyone who is able to assist me in showing me how to fix it?

also, the steering wheel starts shaking (noticeably) as soon as i hit 40 mph. i think its the CV boots, but i am not sure. any ideas?

lastly, the headlights are really dim. any suggestions on how to replace them??

thanks a lot. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I sometimes drive a 1987 Ford Taurus station wagon, the automatic transmission slams gears when it shifts. Could a transmission "flush" fix this, or is rebuilding it ($$$) the only way to really solve it? (not worth it because of age of car)
