Hi..
Your 00 taurus 24v,
Use a Direct ignition, It's mean COIL on PLUG.
Each cylinder use one coil.
The firing order is ; 1-2-3-4-5-6..
The cylinder 1-2-3 are located at the FIREWALL side, starting from the Belt Side..
4-5-6 are Located at the Radiator side, starting from the belt .

Check the ground wire for the affected circuits , Looking at wiring diagrams to see if these thing's share a common ground point . Most of the time it is a ground circuit problem ,not fuse ( B+ ) supply . Do you know what an automotive electrical wiring diagram is ? Do you know what an how to preform electrical circuit voltage drop testing ? Buy a DVOM an test ! Mastering Voltage Drop Testing with Pete Meier and Jerry Truglia Electric Testing Techniques You Need to Know Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free-tsb Enter vehicle info. year , make , model an engine size. Looking at wiring diagrams these componets share ground G201 . I would look for that , probably loose .behind the left kick panel .

There is no vacuum to the controls. Look for a vacuum hose that is no longer connected to the engine intake manifold and repair it.

Throttle position sensor and idle air control valve

Check your fluid level in the radiator and the flow to your heater core

start with don's post.. inner cv joints will make noise too. but not really popping as you said. more a click click....

It could be a few things. When it is warm put your hand in the center of the radiator if it is warm good if it is cold the radiator is plugged. It could be the thermostat which is the cheapest or the big problem it could also be head gaskets.

you have a torque clutch problem chan your torque transmission

Friend, replace the fuel injector on that cylinder. That's really good compression and nothing at all wrong with the valves. That misfire is what we call a dead cylinder and it is repairable. #4 cylinder is the front cylinder on the drivers side. You must remove the coil pack, disconnect vacuum lines from the front of manifold, pop all the electric connections off, remove the 6 bolts securing the upper plenum chamber and lift it off the manifold. Unclip the fuel injector wire connection from #4 injector at this point. There are small bolts securing the fuel rails to both heads to remove so the fuel rails can be pulled up to get to the fuel injectors, the will stay in the fuel rail when lifted, and it's a stiff removal because of the rubber O-rings holding the injectors in. When you have that up and able to get to the injector, just twist it out of the fuel rail, put the new one in it's place after a light lubricant is put on all the O-rings on top and bottom #4 and all the lower O-rings that are exposed, guide all the injectors back in their ports and push them all down until the fuel rail mount brackets are in position for the bolts and put the engine back together.

the compressor doesn't have to be working for the gas to go in you connect the gas to the inlet line and as the gas pressure in the system rises , the ac compressor will cut in normally and suck in the rest until the pressures are correct of course you have to be putting in the correct gas because the switches are different

Low fluid? Expands as it warms

Cooling system--get it to your favorite mechanic befor the motor freezies up

You will need to check the wire harness in the driver's door. The main wire is often times broken because3 of the way it was placed.

If the pump is running but not pumping gas, it's a bad pump or a clogged filter sock in the tank

A/C clutch is locked up. have it checked sometimes low pressure switch can lock it down to prevent more damage some cars can be fixed out removing pump.

Thermostat issue. Replace it. Not properly regulating coolant temps - affects heater temps.

The cable is not fitting properly in the speedometer either on the transmission or the speedometer itself. If you push on the speedometer and it works than this is most likely the problem.

If the heater core bypass refers to the water flow to the heater core, I would wonder why you did not flush the heater core as part of the system. You can drain water from engine, disconnect heater hoses and add a short hose to the heater and force a garden hose to flush the core. I have not looked up the particulars for which heater system is on your car. Some just use duct-work to close off air flow through the heater core and the heater core always has hot water in it. Others will use a valve to shut off the water flow through the heater core and they can be either electric or vacuum operated. Combination systems are the third system which controls water flow and duct air flow at the same time. Some of the Premium Climate control systems with Electronic displays have a computer diagnostic system which self-diagnoses problems but you need the sequence codes and explanation of where the bad part is located.
