| I can't possibly remember the dates these things happened. i put a new (used) transmission and this one is slipping. i put more brake pads and calipers than you would use in a life time. the springs are weak in the back, but to exspensive to change. i put a new fuel pump and gas tank. i've put a new egr valve, oxygen sensor, throttle sensor, air temp sensor. i put a blinker switch and new struts because mine broke. 3 out of 4 of my doors will not open because of the handles. these are just a few of the things i wrote down or can remember. now it will not start unless i pump the gas(it's fuel injected) and keep turning it over and over. then i'm not sure if it will start again when i shut it off. the fuel pump is working i think, i can hear it. i bought the car used and the person put a 1989 motor into a 1991 body. these things still went wrong with the car either way. i did not check any below because i'm not sure what to check. | |||

| The blower motor in my 1991 ford taurus is starting to go out. this problem has been happening for the last week and a half. i will turn the heat on high in the mornings to warm up the car an within a 10-15 minute time frame - the motor will either stop blowing completely or barely blow. i understand there is an existing recall under 03v087000 and complaint number 10184014. as i understand this is a common problem for ford vehicles and needs to be addressed immediately. *tr | |||
