The most common reason for engine stall is a dirty throttle body or a faulty idle air control valve.
The computer controls idle speed by how much air enters the intake.

SOURCE: how to remove 2002 ford taurus radiator

Remove the rad support cover, remove the electric cooling fan and shroud, disconnect the tranny cooler lines, drain the cooling system, remove the upper and lower hoses, remove the rad brackets on top of the rad (one on each side), have someone hold the AC core out of the way and carefully slide the radiator up and out

SOURCE: windows have stopped working

First check the fuses if you have not done so. You will need to remove the door panel to get to the driver side window switch, the power for all of the windows enters through the driver side switch. Use a multi meter to determine if power is reaching the switch, if it is not, run a temporary wire from the fuse panel to the switch and see if that will work the windows. If it now works you know the problem is a bad wire. If you are getting power to the switch but not power out the other side you know the switch is bad and must be replaced.

look on the back of the sleeve the serpentine belt came in...it should have multiple diagrams showing the setup you just have to choose the one for your engine. to replace unbolt the back of the alternator remove the belt and work backwards to install belt.

you have to pull on the belt to get give from the tensioner unless you have the required tool... it makes it A LOT easier but nothing a little elbow grease cannot handle

elizabethsne, my 2002 taurus just started this today! Have you gotta closer to a fix or is it still doing that?

I'm seeing folks suggesting fuel filter, tune-up, air-filter, and if that doesn't work, possibly a fuel-pump going bad..... i will probably follow that logic to start with, but will keep searching.

thanks.

2000 Ford Taurus When I go to stop my vehicle it doesn't stop immediately. Like stop on a dime when I first had the car. I have had it checked out and everytime someone tells me the brakes are okay. ...

check your brake fluid. If there is air in the lines this will cause the issue you are describing. Air in the lines is caused by a low brake fluid due to a leak in the brake line some where. If there has been a master brake cylinder repair some time since you owned it, then they did not bleed the brakes correctlyand get them to fix it. I am almost positive that if you check your fluid level and find it down, then you will have to bleed all your breaks. This is a tedious job and will need a couple of small containers of fluid to replace what you spill bleeding. If this doesn't fix it then you will need to replace the check valve, which controls the flow of the fluid from the front and rear brakes.

To install a trailer plug on a 2002 ford taurus wagon do i need a specail harness or will a 4way flat wiring kit work

Hi, your stop and turn signals share the same filaments, so you need 4 conductors:
right turn/stop=orange/light blue
left turn/stop=light green/orange
tail/park/marker=brown
ground=black

Thanks for using FixYa.

2004 ford taurus occasionaly wont start right up.

Can you tell me if it was in fact the starter? I have an 04 Ford Taurus with 99K miles on it. This week when I started it up, not everytime but often the abs, brake, tire and traction control lights will stay on. Also the computer display will read either park brake engaged or passenger door ajar. I turn it off and start it again and the issue goes away. This morning it acted as though it had a dead battery and I had the clicking sound behind the dash as well as the vibrating needles. Thanks!

I got a 2002 Ford Taurus SE and yesterday it stop on me, I think my Trnsmission went out. It want go in dive or reverse. Everytime I start it up it will make a rattling sound, what is the problem.

Hello shortiep24...Check the transmission fluid with the engine running and with the vehicle in park.
If it is full of fluid, and the transmission does not engage in any gear, then it is most likely an internal problem...
The only other reason that it wouldn't move, is if you have a broken CV axle If the transmission is holding park, then that is probably not the problem.
Good luck. i hope this helps..please rate me a fixya.

02 taurus won't move

Torque converter is locking up, common for this model. My wife's is doing the same, just changed filter, fluid, and added Lucas trans fix. Hope this works for a little bit, 2000-2500 to fix this if not.
