Great video man I had the same issue people tell me I'm wasting my time with Ford but I love my Taurus
Solid Ride.
sadly, people have 1 bad experience with ford and they're like "what everyone says is true found on road dead piece of junk!" but often times they're cheap or simple repairs, as long as you don't use head gasket sealer or stop leak lol
Forgott3n Gaming I just want my 2001 to have better gas mileage
Same here! I couldn't imagine driving anything else. Performance and simplicity all the way.
Love my 04 80k original miles!!! If someone says they hate a manufacturer it's because they got 1 dud. All manufacturers make duds just depends on luck of the draw. Accept dodge body's they all rot and 6.0 powerstroke haha.
OMG YOU MIGHT HAVE JUST SAVED MY CAR. I got my dad's beater. A 2011 ford Taurus with 250k miles sitting for 3 years. I just dropped 4.5k in New brakes and tires for it. And all of a sudden I felt this for the last 2 weeks. I swear I will update this if I can get this fixed this way. I almost started crying bro. Your description was near spot on for what I am experiencing.
My 3.0 v6 Sable was getting rough idle and stumble acceleration so tested coil secondary's which showed 11.5K, 11.5k and infinity on third. Took my vom to junkyard found one and tested equal 11.5k ohm. Installed and fixed all my issues.
I had a loose plug wire which may have damaged my orig coil (?).
Thanks for the video.
Had the same problem with my 2008 Taurus!
I replaced the coil overs and spark plugs. No problem now. 😀
WOW! Thanks!
I just bought an 03 Taurus SES, very well maintained, fairly low miles @almost 122k. I happened to grab the model that takes Unleaded and Flexfuel (E85)
I decided to put flex fuel because it was only 3.79 a gallon vs like 5.60 unleaded. But I’d say a day or two after, my idle became rough, it would buck and jerk accelerating from a stop, sometimes on the freeway. My spark plug wires look pretty new along with the coil pack. I drove it almost a week and the check engine finally came on. I decided to clean my MAF sensor, unfortunately it hasn’t made much of a difference. I’ve been filling up with unleaded, hoping the system would just work itself out. I read that when you change fuel types it’s not perfect at first. There’s an adjust period
Étonnant commentaire puisqu'il m'est arrivé la même chose lors du rapatriement d'une Taurus 03. Je n'ai pas fait attention et j'ai mis du e85. Quelques kilomètres plus tard j'ai eu les mêmes symptômes sur l'autoroute. Et les jours suivants, démarrage avec ralenti instable. Je cherche depuis ce qui provoque ce ralenti instable. Ce n'est peut être que à cause du e85 finalement.
I just bought a 2001 Taurus, SES, Vulcan 3.0 V-6, 82K original owner miles, with platinum plugs, getting 22mpg hwy.. Before I went in for the smog I wanted to be sure it passed. After doing the following: I got 27 mpg hwy, but I'm not sure which helped the most. As follows: SeaFoam in 1 tank of premium gas; Oil Change Mobil One Full Synthetic and Slick 50 with a ten minute flush just before the change; Air Filter; PCV Valve; Catyclean with 1/4 tank premium: Rotate / Balance Tires; Alignment; Spray clean Throttle Body and MAF. Fuel Injection Cleaner by local Walmart. All told, about $200.
But, I think the real change was the last thing I did, when it jumped up to 27mpg: using Copper Core, basic, OEM plugs. Copper Core won't last as long, but it was running smoother and the mpg just jumped way higher than I expected with these basic plugs.
IDK who put in your plugs, but that's the first thing I would have tried: plugs and wires. Not sure why you did it last, because that's basic ignition. Glad your car works fine now.
My 99 Ford Taurus is doing same. While driving the service engine light will blink on and off at same time.
I took your advice and changed the coils and spark plugs (Motorcraft). I was having the same issue. An occasional sputter, especially when under load like you said. Either climing a hill or entering the highway from an on ramp. Thanks for the clear cut help!
It's the cat that causes the baddest issues on those cars
thankyou for the simple video man.
Good deal!~
Nathan Rohrbough 👍👍
Thank you so much👌
Thanks for the video. This is exactly what was wrong with my taurus. New plugs and no more issue.
Glad it helped!
How often do you think plug wires need to be replaced?? My taurus is running good but I have noticed a little corrosion in the plug ends, white flaky build up.
Good for you... so why does my 1999 Corolla do this same 'stumble' at 45-55 and has a new set of plugs and coils and fuel injectors?
Possible vacuum leak
bro thank you so much i couldnt figure this one out my 04 was doin the exact same thing god bess u bro stay safe!
Nice!!!
Plugs of today seldom crack. At one time the engine may have overheated, weakening the porcelain insulator on the plug. Engine vibration did the rest of the damage to the plugs. Old time plugs would crack with little force, and it would be easy to see at night with the hood up. Just like lightning under the hood it would look like. Same check for the old style resistor-less plug wires, the insulating rubber would dry out and disintegrate causing "grounding out" near the valve cover or block.
Truth!
2002 mercury sable same as a Taurus I guess. Intermittent problem with car jerking/jolting and sometimes stalls when you come to a stop. Was giving me a p0340, circuit bank one sensor one. Been to three mechanics in town. Had the camshaft sensor changed. Very scary and dangerous to drive. I'm thinking that all the spark plugs need to be changed out. Wish I knew how to do it myself. I've watched enough videos. I'm at my wits end!!!!
Did you ever find the solution? Having the same problem myself.
@@travishanson2119 No I did not. Several different people worked on it. It kept stalling. Ended up selling the car. Everyone was nickel and diming me saying it was fixed.
..Thanks Nathan! I need to check this on the Crown Vic. It's had a stumble similar to this...
Hard to believe that you spent all that money replacing all of that other stuff without going to the spark plugs first
Right, i now live under a bridge with no money
Good catch. I just replaced the intake manifold gasket and will be checking all the plugs before I cap it off. Appreciate the video.
I know this has been on here a while,I just bought a 2000 exactly like this one.150000 miles I gave 800 for it with the stumbling.i fixed almost everything.came across this video.and BAM this fixed it...thank you
Nice!
My 03 Ford Taurus stalled out. It turns on but cuts off when car put in drive. It stalls out when going up or down inclines. One of the hoses had come off due to pressure I guess. Attached the hose back call still wont move in drive
Yea true
Seems like you would have checked plugs first, since that is probably the cheapest place to start.
Its very easy to say that.
But when you have a car that has So many engine problems you asume that its gonna be compicated.
Happens to me with chrysler 200.
Never ending job.
He did, said he checked the gaps, obviously didn't see the cracks
So cam sync replacement didn't change anything?
Turns out to be a leaky o ring injector. Smell of gasoline on start up gave it away eventually.
ive been having the same problems with my 03 with tons of pinging. 3 weeks ago some child rear ended me. now i see allllll these videos on how to figure all these problems out, when i have been looking and looking for them. now it's totaled out . wow thanks youtube
O my!~
Can you tell me where is the 5th spark plug. Top or bottom. I have a 2005 Sable, which is exactly like th ed Taurus with 83,000 original miles. The scanner says is the #5, because is hesitating and more or less doing the same thing. I changed the 3 bottom spark plugs, but the problem continues and all the videos l have seen shows the top are 1,2 and 3 and the bottom 4, 5 and 6. I didn't change the coils because they looked fine. And each coil cost $72 in Autozone. Im going to buy one and replace the middle one on the bottom.
Hey, I have 2013 Taurus SHO and a wrench icon comes up on the dash screen when I turn the car on and I can't accelerate, but turning it off and on fixes it, do you know what this could be?
Always make sure you use an impact wrench rated for spark plugs.
10-4!
An impact wrench? Do you know what you're talking about
That area of the plug is called the porcelain insulation. They get brittle and weak over time. You should have had all the same brand if the tune up was done properly. Not going to ask why I seen 8 plugs for a 6 cylinder though.
HELP!! My car runs well. It's a 2002 ford Taurus with the Vulcan engine like yours. Mine just started to act up the other day and doesn't do it all the time but I was going about sixty and I gave it about 3/4 throttle and it was either sputtering or like shifting back and forth I couldn't tell I tried to see if I could do it again to see what rmps are doing and I may check plugs tonight. The transmission fluid was good but probably needs to be changed someday. Its also only got 140k miles.
You ever find out what the issue was?
@@ChachinAKAChino not yet IMA check again today I have been quite harder on it and letting it finish coughing and it stoped doing it cross my fingers plugs are new coil pack is new too
@@derrickdavis4083 have the same problem runs fine but when I accelerate it stumbles and kicks I changed the sync spark plugs coil packs to performance coil packs changed oil tranny fluid new air filters checked timing camshafts iac replaced
😓😔🤯 I'm stumped completely and what sucks the most is I just had the whole interior updated with leather instead of outdated old fabric and also a new double din head unit all together I must have put 6 grand into it...STILL RUNNING ALMOST 300.000.00 MILES
@@tauruscarclubphoenixaz1425 u ever figure it out ?
You're awesome, thank you!!
I have a 07 Taurus and it's kind of giving me the same problem I thought it was a starter so I put in a brand new starter brand new alternator but the engine light keeps coming on PLUS WHEN I TURN ON MY AC YOU COULD LITERALLY FEEL THE CAR PULL BACK ENERGY AND RUN SLOW SOMETIMES MY CAR REVS HIGH REVS LOW HELPPP😔😔
WOW!
Torque Wrench is your friend :)
Good video thanks
Cool!!
2000 mustang same problem.
Make sure all injectors are good!!
@@FixingWithPassion ..wish damn thing would throw a code. Lol
What gap did you gap them at?
Book spec.
Replaced ignition coil and plugs due to misfire, runs perfectly but my acceleration is shit and it won’t go over 60, this all happened when the misfire started
Which type did you replace with? Motorcraft, or another brand? I'm going to need to replace the spark plugs soon on my '04 Taurus.
Joel Hacker ....I think it was Motorcraft. ...it did run better afterwards.
I used Autolite @$1.04 each in Rockauto.com. My Taurus is working perfectly with them
By the way, My 2004 Taurus has 195,000 miles and the engine is running good!
surprise you didn't have Any codes...
William Joseph ...I know. But if it had gotten really bad it might had thrown a code.
would the "Check Transmission" text show up on the milage screen from this issue or misfire?? only happens while crusing after a while or as soon as the car stops after crusing for a while.... just wanna be sure it's nothing else I know it misfires and it's an 04 so the issue is under the manifold not a coil pack
Sounds like a misfire hidden somewhere. Make sure to do a fuel pressure test if you can.
Ive done the system test using the 3 info buttons by the gauges and everything comes up 100% good . But when my mechanic plugs In his computer it comes up 2 separate coils are misfiring. 1 happens to be under the manifold the other in the front. Already bought 6 plugs just waiting to have $ for all 6 coils so I can change everything all In one shot. Thinking about also doing the pcv valve to try an improve the mpg while I have the manifold and air filter out of the way. I appreciate your comment
Do a fuel pressure test if you can. Does it miss any on start up? Mine did. Check those o ring seals on the top of the injectors...look real close... ;)
Thankfully it Starts up strong every time. Will see what I can get done before the winter hits NY. Praying the new coils , plugs and pcv will make a big difference. Just today I was strolling on my way home not doing more then 50mph and a slight jerk followed by about 1k lose of RPMS all happened within a few seconds then right back to normal. Could that be a dirty fuel injector? Or from the misfire?
You know....that 2003 4.0 taurus I had would do the same thing! On start
up it sometimes would have a miss in one of the cylinders. And driving
sometimes it would "jerk" driving at hwy speeds. But when it was missing
on start up for 20ish seconds, I'd smell fuel. Never did figure it out
because the woman wanted the car and she she did not care as long as it
ran. It had to be a o ring in one of the injectors I think because all
cylinders had good compression. Maybe your new coils will help. But I
think it has something to do with a slight fuel leak causing the fuel
pressure to bleed off while it was setting. Keep us up to
date!
Looks like you live in swva lol
Actually Northern West Virginia
Anything Ford or American made is a lemon.
Do you have to remove parts to be able to reach the rear 3 plugs??
You absolutely have to disconnect the air intake hose and a few other connectors on the Taurus Vulcan 3.0 to access the back of the engine. There's just no room to work back there. There is another video here on YT showing how to change the back 3 plugs using a swivel wrench and a piece of 5/8 rubber tubing, well worth a watch.
