1989 Ford Taurus Poor Gas Mileage?

I have a 1989 Ford Taurus with the 3.0L Vulcan V6 and the AXOD Auto transmission. I have 98’200 miles on my car. For quite a while I have been getting terrible gas mileage. I usually get around 12-14 mpg in the city. Now, my car runs in tip top shape. It has been very well maintained by my parents for the past 20 years of their ownership and I have kept it very well maintained for the past 3 years.

When running wood-gas in a carbureted 1982 Ford 200 Ci Inline 6, what are the absolutely necessary components?

I am using the GEK gasifier from gekgasifier.com. For those of you that don’t know, woodgas is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, among other gases. I am going to be adapting the throttle body to accept a hose from my gasifier (the line from the gasifier will have an inline ball valve to mix fresh oxygen in, acting as the carb.)

What are the absolutely necessary components to hook up for the engine to run smoothly OUTside of a vechicle. I ask this because these ford inlines began very simple, but many vacuum lines and things like egr valves, etc were introduced in this 1982 model.

Easiest way to drain front gas tank on 94 ford f250?

The truck just broke down in the middle of the street so am racing around the clock to fix it. It does have 2 tanks on it. The rear fuel pump just went out and the front tank is full of old gas. Last time I tried to run the front tank it sucked alot of water and took forever to flush the line out so I know for a fact its full of crud, hasn’t been used in over 10 years! I am for sure the pump up front works so have decided to drain this out and see if I can get it to run on the front tank, what is the easiest way to drain the tank on these trucks? siphon gas out? drop the tank? is there a drain plug? any help would be appreciated.

1994 Ford Explorer water in gas tank!!!?

Ok, friends… I could use some help. Heres the deal. I have a 1994 Ford Explorer. Somehow, it got about a gallon (maybe less) of water dumped into the gas tank. I have no idea what to do about it. I have gotten advice on this issue, and I an getting a million different answers. I have heard ” Drain the gas tank”, “get anti freeze for your gas tank, and then fill it up with premium, and POOF problem fixed” I have heard “guess what, buddy…you are screwed” LOL
I am really at a loss on this issue. I have NO CLUE what I am supposed to do. If anyone could give me advice on this issue, or just tell me how to fix this damn problem… I would appreciate it SO MUCH!!! Thanks for reading, and thanks a million for all of your help!
((Please help me, I’m a tiny little woman! hehe))
How did the gas get in there… Well, it goes a little something like this… 5 years ago, I married a man. There it is. LOL
He thought it was gas. It…wasnt. The gas can had been sitting out in the rain… and it didnt have a cap on it.
Also, I live in Indiana, and it is very cold at this time.

My 95 Ford Escort Wagon stalls. Only once the car is up to running temp. Also noticed an oil leak. Help me!

Had recently filled the tank, started the car and it ran really rough. Thought maybe some water or something in the fuel line cause it resolved a few minutes later. Car was past due for oil change so changed it. Noticed not a lot of oil came out and of course it was really dirty. Put in an oil additive and a fuel additive. Still stalling but only once the car is up to running temp. Dad says to try a can of dry gas. Another guy says I may have ?? thrown a rod?? Does anyone have any ideas? I have not been driving it and have noticed it has a little puddle of oil underneath. I can’t afford to put a lot of money into this car.
OK – So far it sounds like I should just get another car. Coincidentally, I was just offered a 98 Camry for a steal. Is it worth trying to fix the Escort to sell it? I can’t sell it as it, can I?

My 1995 Ford Ranger is getting terttible gas mileage. Why is this?

1995 Ford Ranger
2WD Automatic regular cab

I bought it used with 183,000 miles and I originally never got any less than 25-26 MPG with a combination of 50/50 city and highway driving. The Ranger currently has 224,000 miles and now I’m lucky if I see 18-20 MPG highway. Why is this? It can’t be due to high mileage because again I bought it with high mileage in the first place.

I’ve replaced the EGR valve, water pump, heater control valve, timing belt, serpentine belt, fuel filter and nothing helps. My tires are all properly inflated as well. Could it possibly be the o2 sensor? I’ve never had that changed before. Any ideas? 18-20 MPG is V6 territory for crying out loud.

On going issues with an old Ford 390fe?

Here’s what’s going on. The truck sat up for several months during which time water got in the fuel. When I finally got around to draining the tank and got it started the truck just wouldn’t idle and would miss/backfire going down the road (every once and a while it would act like it was running right). I replaced the carburetor with a new one, it had no effect. The truck ran the same. I replaced the spark plugs, the truck always ran rich and the plugs should have been black but they were tan. I replaced the cap and rotor (Ford duraspark ignition) with no change. I checked the vacuum, it was a little low (15inch)but the truck has a little bit of a cam. I checked the compression and the cyls were within 10 psi of each other. When I do get it to idle (the idle screw on the carb is almost all way in, (it should sound like a plane ready for take off) the motor runs around 800 rpm roughly. Every few seconds it hits like I’ve patted the throttle. I pulled plug wires and it seemed that every other cylinder had no effect on idle quality though they are getting fire. After checking all this could my troubles be in the brain box or distributor? It’s strange.

2000 Ford Focus starts to idle really bad and then cuts off when I come to a stop.?

I have a 2000 Ford Focus and I am having problems with it……every time I come to a complete stop like at a stop sign or red light or something it starts to idle really bad then cuts off and the engine lights come on but when i crank it back up it drives fine and the engine light goes off. I took to a mechanic and the timing belt and water pump was replaced, fuel filter replaced, and new wires, had the oil changed and it is STILL DOING THE SAME THING!!!! I am so aggrevated. My uncle who is sort of a shade tree mechanic, mainly works on way way older cars, but has his own shop worked on it for three weeks and it completely has him stomped. I took it to autozone that ran a diagnostic on it and said I needed to add some Octane boost to the gas tank and upgrade for a while to a better fuel…tried that didnt work either and they also said something about an Oxygen Sensor…(O-2 plug/sensor) I have not tried the O-2 yet but I hate to waste more money if that isnt the problem…i’m just trying to save money by not going to dealer any one has any ideas?
