Hello all. I appreciate any advice.
I have a 98 Taurus SE with the 24 valve Duratec engine (I think), about
150,000 miles on it. Recently, the car has been very jerky when taking off from a stop or near-stop. It's as if the transmission can't find the lowest gear or is jumping back and forth from a lower gear to a higher gear. The RPM needle jumps when this is occurring. If I start from D2 and manually shift to D, the problem does not occur.I was told by a transmission shop the problem was the throttle position sensor, so I had that replaced, but it didn't fix the problem.
Suggestions?
