1988 Ford Taurus hard start problem

Change the coolant sensor located close to the thermostat housing. This is easy but do not over tighten it. You will have the same problem if you do. Tighten till it does not leak only.Good luck!

Cold Starting

You have a cold start injector that is controled by coolant temp and more than likely the sensor, which is located center of intake, between #2 and 3 injector...it looks a bit like a reg. temp. sensor and will have either blue or black electrical harness connected to it. This sensor 'tells' the cold start sensor, a fifth injector for cold starting, when coolant is below a certain temp and gives extra gas. Try to find one at a junkyard, otherwise, www.getcoolparts.com about $80 new. Better yet, buy a Bentley manual and there's diagnostics using a multimeter on diagnosing specifically. I have an 88 but it is an N/A, not a turbo and is an 8v...if your's is a 16 valve, look for sensor in same spot but under fuel rail/injector area.

HEATER CONTROL BLOWS COLD ON RIGHT SIDE & HOT ON THE LEFT. WHEN I TURN ON THE HEATER I TURN THE PASSENGERS SIDE TO FULL HEAT & I GET FULL COLD; AS FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE ALL IS FINE AND DANDY.

your pass side blend door actuator is stuck. sometimes unhooking battery for a few minutes will allow them to reset. cut on heat then unhook when you hook back up and start vehicle the actuators will relearn themselves meaning they will move from one end to the other. if this does not work it will need to be replaced
