Maybe throttle body is getting gummy from varnish. I had that happen on several GM vehicles. Try some carberator cleaner on a rag.

Have a 05 ford Taurus when you first start it the engine runs too fast and going down the road the gas pedal sticks

I would think the throttle body is getting gummy. You need some carb cleaner to spray it and sometimes you ever have to physically clean it.

Gas pedal sticking, motor racing

Hi, yes you can fix yourself. Follow the accelerator (gas pedal) cable to the carburetor, at the carb. there should be a spring (this could have come off) that makes the cable retract, have any helper push the gas pedal. You watch the movement in the engine area with the ENGINE SWITCHED OFF. Follow the movement of the cable and check for return action. Lubricate with spray lube on all moving parts. All the best.

1995 Ford Taurus Sho 3.2 check engine light blink 3 3 1 3 3

Code 33 is EGR opening not detected, this is caused by a plugged EGR exhaust passage in the upper intake manifold, this is a common SHO engine fault, the valve works but the engine does nothing that the computer can sense, since no gas flows, to verify this is the problem open the egr at idle, the engine should almost die, if nothing happens or only a tiny change in idle speed or quality the passages are plugged, if it does stall or get real rough the egr position sensor (usual code for sensor is 32) may be faulty or the valve is sticking. I was a ford dealer tech for 30 years and did quite a few of these, there is a TSB (technical service bulletin) about this problem

2000 Ford Taurus not getting gas

If your in gear (D) for example and you hit the gas, engine revs, but car doesn't speed up, it's a problem with your transmission, and the first thing you can do is have the fluid level checked, and add fluid if needed. If that's not the cure, take it to a transmission shop & have it diagnosed.
