1993 Ford Taurus - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Where is the tension pully on a 1993 ford taurus
there is no spring tensioner on some of the 3.0 engines. See instructions below. I will paste a pic on the version that DOES have a tensioner at the bottom of this post.
3.0L Engine-Except SHO
ALTERNATOR BELT WITHOUT AUTOMATIC TENSIONER
- Loosen the adjusting arm and pivot bolts.
- Turn the alternator belt adjusting screw counterclockwise until the old belt can be removed.
- Remove the belt.
To install:
- Install the new belt over the pulleys. Check that all the V-grooves make proper contact with the pulleys.
- Adjust the belt tension, then tighten the adjusting arm and pivot bolts.
3.0L SHO EngineALTERNATOR BELT
See Figure 2
- Loosen the nut in the center of the idler pulley.
- Loosen the idler adjusting screw until the old belt can be removed, then remove the belt.
To install:
- Install the new belt over the pulleys in proper contact with the pulleys.
- Adjust the new belt to specifications as follows: Turn the idler pulley nut to the right to tighten the belt to a specification of 220-265 lbs. (980-1180 N). Torque the idler pulley nut to 25-37 ft. lbs. (34-50 Nm).
POWER STEERING AND AIR CONDITIONING BELT
See Figure 2
- Remove the alternator belt.
- Loosen the nut on the tensioner pulley.
- Turn the belt adjusting screw on the tensioner counterclockwise until the belt can be removed, then remove the belt.
To install:
- Position the new belt over the proper pulleys, making sure the V-grooves are properly seated.
- Install the alternator belt.
- Adjust the power steering and air conditioning belt to a specification of 154-198 lbs. (690-980 N) with a belt tension gauge.
- Adjust the alternator belt.
3.0L Engine (Except SHO) and 3.8L Engine
VEHICLES THROUGH 1993 WITH AUTOMATIC TENSIONER
See Figures 4 and 5
- Insert a 1 / 2 in. breaker bar into the square hole in the tensioner.
On the 3.8L engine, the tensioner has a1/2in. square hole cast into the rear of the tension arm directly behind the pulley. On the 3.0L engine, the1/2in. square hole is cast into the spring housing on the front of the tensioner.
- Rotate the tensioner clockwise and remove the belt.
Fig. Fig. 5: 3.8L belt schematic-1993 shown
To install:
- Install the drive belt over all the pulleys, except for the alternator pulley on the 3.0L engine for vehicles through 1992, or the idler pulley for 1993 3.0L vehicles.
- Rotate tensioner counterclockwise and install the belt over the alternator pulley. Make sure that all the V-grooves make proper contact with the pulleys.
- On the 3.0L engine, install the alternator belt for vehicles through 1992.
- For 1993 3.0L vehicles, install the drive belt over the idler pulley.
I have a 93' Ford Taurus that failed emissions
run the fault codes to find the faulty sensor
sensors that control the exhaust emissions are the HO2S ( heated oxygen sensors in the exhaust manifold/s
the O2 sensor ( oxygen sensors after the cat converters ) and the EGR unit that recycles exhaust gas back through the engine to re-burn the gasses

Still no turn signals...
The Electronic Flasher is located behind LH side of the instrument panel, above fuse panel.
you have to get on your back in front of the drivers seat ,,,with a flash light and look under the dash ,,, on the left side of the steering column tucked under the dash is a black square relay looking thing ,,this is your turn signal flasher ,,
NO power to the radio or clock
Did you actually check the radio plug for power, or does the display just not illuminate? I ask because this radio has a little bulb inside that burns out that illuminates the clock, and radio station. You can confirm this by trying to use the radio normally, and trying to 'seek' a station. If you can get it to tune in, it is definitely the bulb. Another way is to shine a nice bright flashlight into the clock face. You should be able to see the stations and clock, that at least will tell you that the radio is working. - Hope this helps =)
