1996 Ford Taurus Problems

first things I'd check, fuel pressure and cat converter (after warm)

Coolant Temperature Sensor

Thank u the converter has been checked I was also wondering about the fuel pump(pressure) and the coolant sensor! The mechanic is putting a new filter on just in case because it has never been done its original filter and also the coolant sensor. Any other ideas would help so keep them coming I appreciate it and I will update u on what it was!

Don't forget an extra credit card. It sounds like the mechanic is replacing everything without figuring out the problem first.

lmfao

bwhahahahahahaha

you are funny

hurc ast

tell him to maker sure cam sensor is syconized

you need a special tool i hope he has it i bet he eyeballed it lmfao the shaft also wears prolly what caused the sensor to go in first place

remove sensor make sure no magnets are moving around broken in side the put it on using SPECIFIED tool there are 2 kinds one is not your application

your problem sounds like sensor is out of sync

hurc ast

Actually the sensor and the synchronizer where bad car was align with the special tool and i saw the tool it was for the 3.0 which is mine. The synchronizer was chewed to hell I don't get that but anyways that is common with theses cars. I researched that. Ran fine for two weeks on long trips and all now it just started this. Only cost 350 for that because he let me get my own parts and gave me my old ones. He runs the obdII and nothing comes up I will let u all know that i am not being taken at all. Ford dealership wanted well over 650 for the above. So I asked for helpful comments not snide remarks thanks anyways!

so what you are saying is he charges 350 an hour

lmfao

hurc ast

no actually sensor was 30 and change synchronizer was 150.00 and change and tow was 150 towed me over an hour so I think i made out pretty well

so remove the cap any magnets floating around ?

hurc ast

The old synchronizer was chewed to hell this one no we checked all together clean as a whistle so now where do i go no codes come up

Anyother ideas no codes coming up still runs like crap after 20-30 minutes? Mechanic says tranny i say no way tranny will not make the car stall. Fuel pump?

your original post said rmp goes up, car wont go faster? right? If you are correct in your discription-----trans slipping.

That would be correct if the car did not also stall and die. Tranny slipping does not make the car shut off.

I think we need a better description of your problem. If it does it EVERY time its warmed up, exactly what it does, ect. If it does it every time its warm it should be easy to find. Maybe you need a new mechanic? One that will diagnose the car, not just guess and throw parts at it based on your description. The way to start the diagnosis is drive the car.

just as a side note: I've done quite a few cam sensors on Taurus' and they all ran fine, just had the CEL on.

Ok better description

3.) Just had the fuel filter replaced because it was original and regardless I am sure it needed to be replaced. Cheap and easy job.

Please explain. Manifold pressure going UP meand engine is under load. Slipping tranny means engine sees no load.

Sounds more like a blocked exhaust

You NEED a fuel pressure guage installed for a test run. See if the fuel pressure stays up or drops when the engine stutters. Sounds like a classic case of a blocked pre-filter in the tank. (usually due to dirt in the tank - rust, etc) When the pump has sucked enough crap to the "sock" the engine can't get enough fuel any more. Shut it off and the crap falls off the bottom of the sock and you are good to go for a few more miles.
