On some early model Fords require programming of the electrical parts. If I'm not mistaken, There is an electrical connector that plugs into the EGR. You can call the local Ford dealership and ask about it but I'm pretty sure that's what needs to be done. Had an early model Ford Ranger come into the shop work in and found that out the hard way. I hope this helps you on getting correction for the problem at hand. Have a great wknd. Jesus loves you, John 3:16-17 (KJV)
Carlos, Can you do any work your self new EGR valve $50.00, new O2 sensor $50.0 or less ordered through Rock auto.com, if car overall in good shape may be worth fixing. Especially if finances are tight. get a second even third estimate and this time ask them if you supply new parts O2 and EGR how much they want for labor, should not be more then 1.5 hours. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

smh please ddi am wondering how a female feels like lol, anyway i think your egr valve passage is blocked am dealing with a problem right now i found out that the nissan am working on is clog and in the morning am going to deal with it because this car idle at about 2000 rpm and sometimes it would not accelerate so if life last tomorrow i would let you know if it works ok, but try cleaning the throttle body and pipe from the egr valve i think you have a blockage ok. good luck
not sure how low ur talking, but is your chk engine light on? Try some new plugs, and an oil change too. If the chk eng lite is on more likely the knock sensor is shot and its hard to get to. But also try some good gas and not cheap stuff either....make sure ur parking brake isnt on too...it happens.
The 1998 Ford Taurus is a pretty reliable vehicle. Occasional problems on this vehicle are failure of the Camshaft Position Sensor and Actuator; Restricted EGR passages, 3.0L VIN S only; the Differential Pressure Feedback EGR (DPFE) Sensor; the Powertrain Control Module (PCM); and the Secondary Air Injection (SAI) Pump. The cost to repair the Camshaft Position Sensor and Actuator is estimated at $210.00 for parts and $65.00 for labor. The cost to clean out the restricted EGR passages is estimated at $5.00 for parts and $78.00 for labor. The cost to repair the DPFE Sensor is estimated at $76.00 for parts and $32.50 for labor. The cost to repair the PCM is estimated at $320.00 for parts and $65.00 for labor. The cost to repair the SAI Pump is estimated at $200.00 for parts and $52.00 for labor. Other problems on this vehicle are failure of the Transmission Range (TR) Sensor and the Door Ajar Switches. The symptoms associated with failure of the TR Sensor are loss of sound from the radio, loss of power window operation and loss of power steering operation when the car is shifted from park to reverse and/or drive. The cost to repair the TR Sensor is estimated at $40.00 for parts and $39.00 for labor. The cost to repair the Door Ajar Switches is estimated at $22.00 for parts and $45.50 for labor per door and can range from one to four doors. All prices are estimates based on $65 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax. I would advise you to have the car looked at by a trusted mechanic. With 115,000 miles on the odometer it can have some of these problems which are not severe. The money you spend to have it gone over by an expert will be money well spent.
could be an exhaust leak, or a bad gas cap. gas caps have a vent that allows air to escape from the tank safely, if you notice a depressurizing sound when you take the gas cap off it should be replaced, it's possible that the air is building up in the tank and leaking out somewhere it shouldn't be, in which case this is very unsafe so please be careful if you must drive it this way.
Run a computer system check for trouble codes, if the chk eng lite is on there will be a code, it may be the speed sensor, if it is then that will be the cause of the speedo problem.
