| 1999 Ford Taurus has to sit for 1 hour before it can be restarted again. | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | Bear-Cat | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I own a 1999 Ford Taurus that I've never had any problems with. In the last couple of months, it will start right up in the morning but if you turn it off you have to wait 1 hour (approx) before it will start again, if you turn it off again you have to go through the same process. it acts like it isn't getting gas or it's flooded. I changed the fuel filter and that worked for about a week. I'm getting ready to drop the tank and change the fuel pump. I was wondering if you've ever seen this before. the mechanic at the dealership looked at me like I was nuts. ... | |||||

| Answer to: 2013 Ford Taurus SHO- Advice Needed | 16Relevance | 10 hours ago | BobTheHatKing | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| It’s a fun car for sure. The question is do you value absolute reliability or do you wanna have fun and don’t mind sinking some extra bucks? Also the ecoboosts on the larger engines such as the v6s tend to be better than the economy 1-2 liter ecoboost engines. I own a 09 Taurus with essentially the same 3.5L v6 but without turbos. These engines have been known to be strong engines before they put turbos in and it’ll handle the extra power decently, but obviously no matter what with the extra pressure of the turbo comes increased wear when you compare to a NA ... | |||||
| Driver Seat Cooling Weakness and Strange Component Feeling – Ford Taurus 2010 | 16Relevance | 1 year ago | Fyahm2222367 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello dear moderators and members, I own a 2010 Ford Taurus with 120,000 km. I have an issue regarding the driver’s seat ventilation/cooling system. Previously, when I activated the seat cooling switch, I could feel cold air across the seat cushion and part of the backrest. Recently, the cooling efficiency has significantly decreased — now I only feel slight cooling at the lower part of the backrest. Additionally, I notice an unusual sensation: it feels like a small round object or mechanism under the seat cushion that shifts posit ... | |||||

| Your fuel injectors may be dripping fuel. If it cranks but doesn't start, hold the throttle wide open (pushing the gas down all the way) and attempt to start it. If it starts, your injectors are worn out. Having messed around with carbureted cars for three years, when I pump the gas too many times, I hold the gas wide open to clear the flooding. They simply carried over the analog procedure to the digital age. | |||||
| Answer to: Upgrade Ford Taurus SHO transmission? | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The transmission was designed for a 365 horsepower engine, not a 600 horsepower engine. You're practically doubling the power and torque. Automatic transmissions have a myriad list of moving parts. Too much torque and horsepower can easily lead the transmission to its demise. Even if the stock transmission could take the torque, your transmission will wear out a lot faster than it otherwise would. | |||||
| Answer to: 2003 Taurus transmission | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| That's suspiciously low mileage for a 21-year-old car. Take a sample of fluid, Ford of that era may have a transmission dipstick. It should be darker red, and not gritty. If it's gritty or burned, don't change it. | |||||
| 08 Taurus x- opening door with dead battery | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | Mikesdak | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| So the lights got left on with my daughter's Taurus x. Totally dead battery. It uses the power locks to unlock the door when the key is inserted, so she can't open the doors... Or the hood, for that matter. Any ideas? | |||||
| Answer to: 120K miles 2002 Ford Taurus stalling at lights. Code reader says transmission + oxygen sensor? | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | jack62 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| You're spending thousands of dollars with your mechanics yet you don't even know what dtc (codes) are being set. Why not spend $100 on a BlueDriver Bluetooth Pro scanner and see for yourself? Between the codes and the Live Data we may be able to figure this out for free. But a 2002 Taurus makes me wonder about the head gasket because they're great cars but they don't tolerate overheating. So before buying the scanner, maybe buy one of those Combustion Gas Testers (around $30) and rule that out. | |||||
| How Often to change AWD fluids in 2011 Ford Taurus SHO | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | sjkfly | Submit Your Question HERE | |

| Missing exhaust bolts on a 2018 Ford Taurus. | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | hempfling | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty, I recently bought a 2018 Ford Taurus with a 3.5L V6 engine. While I was replacing the front engine splash shield I noticed that one exhaust bolt was missing from each manifold. The missing bolt is in a different location on each exhaust manifold and there is no sign a bolt was ever installed. Do you think this was done on purpose or just accidentally left off during assembly? Thanks,Mike | |||||
| 2009 Taurus clunk in the back | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | BobTheHatKing | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| 2009 Ford Taurus SEL. 116k miles. Sometimes when I lift off the gas to allow the car to decelerate at low speeds (under 40 mph) there is a clunk coming from the back. It happens when engine braking. I don't believe it happens when the actual brakes are applied but I could be wrong. It's FWD so the only parts in the back that would clunk are suspension parts right? | |||||
| Is 115k too late to change the ATF on a 2009 Taurus? | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | BobTheHatKing | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| 2009 Ford Taurus SEL FWD. Ford-GM 6-speed automatic transmission. 115k miles. Previous owners took very good care of it it seems but no idea if the transmission fluid has ever been changed. Shifts fine, no leaks and fluid appears to be good based on color, but I want to do preventative maintenance as I’ve heard these have a high rate of transmission failure. Is it too late to change it at 115k if it may not have ever been changed? | |||||
