told by some one who has no idea
have the fault codes read
possible causes are faulty heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) in the exhaust manifold which is the controller of emissions , cracked exhaust pipe at the manifold , MAF/VAF sensors
Removing a cat converter will cause you more problems than just fixing the fault

With all that coolant going through the exhaust your O2 sensors are toast. .... Drives: 96 Mercury Sable LS Wagon 3.0 DOHC Duratec .... 1999 Taurus need help.
Its possible. In this time span Ford used two different motors, the overhead valve (OHV) Vulcan V6, and the Duratec 24V V6, which will bear the 24v DOHC badge on the front fender.
Your vehicle has four oxygen sensors. There is a vacuum line underneath the throttle body that regularly fails, causing the lean condition, and the whistling and surging. Very dificult to see, but with the engine running usually you can fine the vacuum leak with your fingers. Hose is non-reinforced rubber, and is shaped in a 90 degree bend. If memory serves me right, it is the pcv hose. Replace this and your problems will cease.
