My car hesitate (misses) when attempting to merge into traffic on freeways, and during acceleration or change of speeds after I have attained driving speed. The engine does not shut down. It just vibrates or stalls or hesitate until it finally get up to speed. After that it runs fine. The hesitation only occurs when I ask the engine to give me more speed. I have been told something is wrong in the front end. The drive axles are less than two years old. My car has 61,000 miles on it. YES, 61,000 miles. This is why I cannot accept the diagnosis I have been given. This car is not beat up.
I believe it is fuel starvation, or electrical breakdown. Moreover, if this car has the EFI system, I think it does, it may be the computer that controls the fuel injection system.
Before I allow anyone to tear into the front end of this car I am seeking information/advice/knowledge from anyone that knows about this problem with their Ford Taurus.
Oh, I almost forgot. CHOO CHOO! While sitting/parked, I can bring the RPM up until the engine start choo chooing. I have been told that is the governor preventing an over speed. While that may be true, but not in my case. This is something that just started two weeks ago. I maintain my car myself and I have brought the RPM up many times and this car has not been Choo Chooing like it does now.
Finally, I maintain a good car. That is why I do not believe it is in the front end. My drive train is in good condition. For this reason I believe it is fuel starvation or electrical.
I need HELP/ADVICE. What can I do about/solve this problem?
Please email me your response.
Thank you.
